Captain Arthur H. Hardy, United States Air Force
11/7/1948 - 3/14/1972

1st Lt. Arthur H. Hardy was the pilot of an OV-10A sent on a forward air control mission over the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos on March 14, 1072.
The "Trail," a road system in Laos near the Vietnam border, was used by the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong for transporting weapons, supplies and troops. Hardy's aircraft was hit during the mission, and he bailed out of the aircraft. He radioed to rescuers that he was going down Routes #23 and #233, and his parachute was seen on the trail. He was believed to be uninjured at that time. Search and Rescue never found Arthur H. Hardy. He was declared Missing in Action, even though he was alive on the ground in close proximity to enemy troops.
He was classified as Missing In Action. In September 1983, his remains were repatriated and interred in his hometown at Cowles Memorial Cemetery in Ipswich, MA
