In Memory of…..Col James Cuthbert Hartney.
*** Colonel Hartney was a member of the 357th Tactical Fighter Squadron, Takhli, Thailand. On January 5, 1968, he was the pilot of a Thunderchief Fighter (F-105F) on a mission over Hanoi, North Vietnam.

His remains were recovered on June 21, 1989 and identified on November 17, 1989. His name is inscribed on the Courts of the Missing at the Honolulu Memorial.
You may be gone, no longer living on this earth; but you will live on - in the memories of your family and friends. There will always be a part of you living in those who knew you. You will live on because we remember you!

***** The Col. and his family were and still are very good friends to me and my family as I was growing up. I always looked up to the Col. as a true Hero of America. I went to Viet-nam in early 1968 and knew of his loss , I always wished we as a nation could have brought him home before His wonderful wife lost her battle with cancer. She fought hard and long to bring home all MIA / POW'S , not only her Hero but all the Hero's we left behind. I know the Lord is flanked by All the true Hero's Amercia has lost during our history and I know He is proud to have them by His side.God Bless and Keep All American's who have given so much to keep us all so safe and Free.

Other Personnel in Incident: Samuel Fantle III (remains returned)
Major James C. Hartney, pilot, and Capt. Samuel Fantle III, co-pilot,were dispatched in their F105F on a combat mission over North Vietnam on January 5, 1968. They were the lead plane in a flight of four.
At a point about 35 miles northeast of Hanoi Maj. Hartney's aircraft was struck in the left wing by hostile fire from a MiG17, causing the plane to go out of control and forcing the crew to eject.
Aircrew in the area picked up the beeper signals from two emergency radios. The wingman saw Fantle landing on the ground, and Hartney about to land, but no voice contact was made with them.
Intense hostilities prevented rescue.
Samuel Fantle, the first to eject from the aircraft, was classified Prisoner of War, then later Killed in Captivity. Hartney, for unknown reasons, was not declared prisoner of war, but Missing in Action. It cannot be determined why two individuals landing side by side were not classified the same.
When the war ended, neither Fantle nor Hartney were released as prisoners.
Eleven years after his backseater's remains were returned, Hartney's remains also were returned by the Vietnamese.
On November 20, 1989, the U.S. announced that a positive identification had been made of these remains.
At last Hartney's family could begin their grieving process, no longer were tortured by the thought that he could be among those thought to be still alive.
