He went down on this mornings mission. He won't be back.

Poignant story and it happens in combat more than most people imagine.
I got a "warm bunk" when I arrived at Korat in May of '66 for my F-105
tour and got a "warm bunk" again at Korat in June of '72 for the F-4
tour. Don Logan had occupied the room and his clothes and camera gear
were still in the closet.

Don was repatriated in March of '73 when the POWs were released and
has published several aviation photo books since then.

The duties of the Summary Court Officer are heart-rending.

I got a warm bunk in 1952 in Korea along with ten champagne bottles on
a shelf above the bunk, nine empty, one full. The previous occupant,
as a ritual, had consumed one after each tenth mission. Needless to
say, my tentmates and I drank the final one, thinking he would want us
to. Never have I tasted such bitter wine.
