Notes
Air Force Col. Peter J. Stewart was a member of the 8th Tactical Fighter Squadron at Ubon Airfield, Thailand. On March 15, 1966, he was the bombardier/navigator of a McDonnell Douglas Phantom II Fighter (F-4C) on an armed reconnaissance over Dien Binh Phu, North Vietnam. On making a bombing run on trucks, his aircraft was shot down and exploded. His remains were not recovered at the time. Through the work of the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency, the remains of Col. Stewart were accounted for in 2018. His name is permanently inscribed in the “Courts of the Missing” at the Honolulu Memorial.
