Maj. Bobby Jones has been missing in action since his plane disappeared from radar in South Vietnam on November 28, 1972.
A woman whose brother went missing in action during the Vietnam War was hopeful her family would get some closure this fall, but an excavation trip planned for the area where his plane is believed to have crashed has recently become one of the latest postponements attributed to the coronavirus pandemic.
Through the nearly 49 years that have passed since Jones' disappearance, Shirley has played an active role with the National League of POW/MIA Families, serving for nearly four decades as the coordinator for her home state of Georgia and for more than 10 of those years as the chair of the league. She has been on delegation trips to visit Southeast Asia—flying directly past Bach Ma Mountain on one—and has testified beforeMaj.
"He thought he'd probably have four years' residency, and he didn't want to get in there and be pulled out to be sent over for the Vietnam War," she said. Bobby Jones is photographed with his father, Marvin J. Jones, in September 1972, shortly before leaving for Udorn, Thailand.On the day Jones went missing, he was flying in the backseat of the F4D with pilot Jack Harvey of Florida from their base in Udorn to Da Nang, South Vietnam. When they were about 20 miles out from their destination, their plane dropped off the radar.
