Fellow USAF OTS Classmate
George, Dick Henderson and myself enlisted in the Air Force in Jackson, Mississippi.
We all attended OTS at the same time but went to separate bases for pilot training. I remember George as a quite, never get excited young man. I did learn late in my career when Dick and I met up at Travis AFB, that George had died in a plane crash. He was described as a hero. I truly believe that to be the case. My name is William C. “Bill” Huggins from Greenwood, Mississippi. I now live in Panama City, Fl.

Final Mission of 1LT George M. Wall
On April 22, 1970, an EC-47 aircraft, tail number 43-48402, call-sign CAP 53, out of Pleiku, with eight crewmembers on board, was hit by anti-aircraft fire (presumably 37MM anti-aircraft fire) while flying a combat mission in eastern Laos. The Navigator was wounded by shrapnel from the explosion. The Pilot turned the aircraft on an easterly heading toward friendlier territory, but control problems prevented his success. The aircraft crashed near A Loui Airfield in South Vietnam. The pilot, 1LT George M. Wall, and one radio operator, SSGT Michael R. Conner, were killed in the crash. The remaining crewmembers, although wounded, survived the crash and were rescued by helicopter. In order to assure destruction of the classified equipment on board, an EOD team policed the area and destroyed scattered components and the aircraft. Additionally, six Tactical Air sorties were flown on the crash site to destroy the aircraft and any sensitive equipment still aboard the aircraft. [Taken from 6994th.com]
