Final Mission of CAPT Winfield W. Sission

COL Harley B. Pyles was a Bird Dog Forward Air Controller assigned to the 20th Tactical Air Support Squadron at Da Nang. He and CAPT Winfield W. Sission (USMC) took off from Kham Duc Special Forces Camp in an O-1E (#56-2600) to lead a flight of helicopters carrying ARVN troops to a landing zone in enemy territory. Later, they controlled an air strike, made a Bomb Damage Assessment, and then started back to their base. They were operating above a low cloud base when they disappeared about 10 miles from Da Nang. CAPT Sisson was reported as a POW but never returned. Their mission was to orbit the 1st Shining Brass Recon Mission ran by Charles "Slate" Petry, Jim "Halo" Smith, and William "Willie" Card as they patrolled the Ho Chi Minh Trail. They were tasked with keeping a watch on the weather and alert fighter aircraft if the team got into trouble. The aircraft crashed in bad weather as they were returning to Da Nang. COL Pyles was promoted while missing and his remains were eventually returned. He was from Enon, Ohio and was 43 and married when he was declared dead on February 4, 1974.
