On March 20, 2013, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC,
DPAA) identified the remains of Major Larry James Hanley,
missing from the Vietnam War.
Major Hanley entered the U.S. Air Force from Washington and was
a member of the 357th Tactical Fighter Squadron. On November 4,
1969, he piloted an F-105D Thunderchief (tail number unknown) on
a combat mission over Khammouan Province, Laos. While attacking
an enemy anti-aircraft position in the target area, his
Thunderchief crashed, killing Maj Hanley. The exact crash site
was unknown and Maj Hanley's remains could not be recovered at
the time. However, in 2012, the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)
recovered human remains that were obtained from an indigenous
source and found at an aircraft crash site in Khammouan
Province. Using modern forensic technology, U.S. investigators
were able to identify the remains as those of Maj Hanley.
Major Hanley is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the
National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
