On September 11, 1978, the Central Identification
Laboratory-Hawaii (CILHI, now DPAA) identified the remains of
Colonel Jack Wilton Weatherby, missing from the Vietnam War.
Colonel Weatherby entered the U.S. Air Force from Texas and was
a member of the 45th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron. On July
29, 1965, he piloted an RF-101C Voodoo (tail number 56-0067) on
a mission against enemy targets in Yen Bia Province, North
Vietnam. During the mission, the aircraft was hit by enemy fire
and crashed, killing Col Weatherby. His remains were not
recovered at the time. In 1978, the Vietnamese government
repatriated human remains from this crash site, and U.S.
investigators were able to identify Col Weatherby from these
remains.
Colonel Weatherby is memorialized in the Courts of the Missing
at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
