I was shot down by a Mig 21 firing a heat
seeking missile on 12 September 1972, north and west of Haiphong, North
Vietnam. I was captured the following day by North Vietnamese regular
army
troops. I spent two months in solitary confinement and then was moved to
the

a
short period in late December. In January we were moved to the "Hanoi
