SSgt Allen H. Clark served with the 460th Field Maintenance Squadron, 460th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing, 7th Air Force. The 460th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing was headquartered at Tan Son Nhut Air Base north of the capital of Saigon, RVN. The wing controlled several flying units possessing a variety of aircraft. The 460th was responsible for the entire reconnaissance mission, both visual and electronic, throughout the Southeast Asia (SEA) area. One month before the unit was to deactivate and return to the U.S., Clark died at the 3rd Field Hospital in Saigon near midnight on July 29, 1971. His remains were released to U.S. Air Force medical examiners at the 377th USAF Dispensary at Tan Son Nhut who were initially unsure of the cause of death, listing it as a homicide; however, when a final casualty report was released, it attributed his death to heart attack from coronary occlusion. Clark was 28 years old. [Sourced at coffeltdatabase.org and 15thaf.org]
