WASHINGTON – 14 May 2021 – The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA) announced today that U.S. Naval Reserve Commander Paul C. Charvet, 26, lost during the Vietnam War, was accounted for on 1 March 2021.
On 21 March 1967, Charvet was the pilot of an A-1H Skyraider airplane assigned to Attack Squadron 215 aboard the aircraft carrier USS Bon Homme Richard.
During a mission near Thanh Hoa Province, Vietnam, his plane disappeared in an area of low cloud cover and fog a kilometer northeast of Hon Me Island.
His remains were not recovered after a search of the area.
On 22 March, Radio Hanoi Broadcast reported an American aircraft was shot down the day before off the coast of Thanh Hoa Province.
Charvet’s plane was the only U.S. aircraft loss in that area on 21 March.
Charvet was considered missing in action until 2 December 1977 when his status was changed to “ Presumed Killed in Action.”
A unilateral recovery team from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam recovered possible remains and material evidence, which was turned over to the U.S. in September 2020 and sent to the DPAA Laboratory at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, for analysis.
DPAA is grateful to the government of Vietnam for their partnership in this mission.
