More detail on this person: Malcolm was in my flight class, but his story is a bit more interesting than that given above. He was the only member of Class 69-15 who was not assigned to Vietnam. Due to his father's current service in South Vietnam, Malcolm was assigned to South Korea and was shot down by the North Koreans August 17, 1969 after encroaching across the DMZ on a training flight. He was released by the North Vietnamese in December 1969. -Stephen Briese
