This is the general area whereArthur Sinclair Hill, Jr. was last known to have been, with the longitude and latitude as the last known coordinates of 173512N 1053652E (WE652444) on Dec. 29, 1965 Status (in 1973): Killed/Body Not Recovered Other Personnel in Incident: Edgar A. Rawsthorne (missing) REMARKS:None at this time. This is the area where Arthur Sinclair Hill Jr, and Commander Edgar A. Rawsthorne was last reported missing. Do you think in this day of Global Positioning Satellite Systems, and Satellite Imaging, we can find these men, or their remains, with this kind of mapping of their last known whereabouts? Did these men become prisoners of the NVA, Viet Cong, Russia, or China? Something must be done to get these men out of their hell on earth. These men belong on American soil NOW!!!!! Cdr. Edgar A. Rawsthorne was the pilot of an F4 which flew from the air wing onboard the ENTERPRISE, and on December 29, 1965, he was assigned a combat mission which would take him through the Mu Gia Pass into Laos. His bombardier/navigator on the aircraft that day was Lt. Arthur S. Hill, Jr. The Mu Gia Pass was one of several passageways through the mountainous border of Vietnam and Laos. U.S. aircraft flew through them regularly, and many were lost. The return ratio of men lost in and around the passes is far lower than that of those men lost in more populous areas, even though both were shot down by the same enemy and the same weapons. This is partly due to the extremely rugged terrain and resulting difficulty in recovery. Just west of the pass, Rawsthorne's aircraft was hit by enemy fire and crashed. It was not believed that either of the men onboard survived the crash of the plane. Both were declared Killed in Action, Body Not Recovered. Could have LT. Hill Jr., and LT. Rawsthorne been shot down by this SA-2 used extensively in Vietnam???? Please click on picture to take you to a site on the Russian made Surface to Air Missiles like this one and AAA (Anti-Aircraft Artillery) that were used in Vietnam, and in use today. Rawsthorne and Hill are two of nearly 600 Americans who are missing in Laos. Unlike in Vietnam, no negotiations were held with the communist Pathet Lao to achieve the release of prisoners held in Laos. As a result, not one American held by the Lao was ever released. Tragically, over 10,000 reports concerning Americans prisoner, missing or unaccounted for in Southeast Asia have been received by the U.S. since the end of the war. Experts say that the evidence is overwhelming that Americans were left behind in enemy hands. This Pentagon Pride Ring site is owned byMike Matteri Want to join the ring?
