===Missions===
8 July 1969 - Major James E. Sizemore, pilot; and Major Howard V. Andre, Jr., navigator; comprised the crew of an A-26A that departed Nakhon Phanom Airfield in a flight on an evening armed reconnaissance mission. After spotting enemy personnel on the ground deep in enemy held territory, the Invader made a strafing pass on a communist target entrenched in the rugged jungle covered mountains on the north side of a mountain range. The aircraft was struck by ground fire, continued downward and exploded immediately upon impact with the ground.

Because of the location of loss in an area under total enemy control, no ground search was possible. An electronic search, however, commenced immediately. At the time the A26A was downed, no parachutes were seen. Likewise, no emergency beepers were heard. When the formal search was terminated, both Howard Andre and James Sizemore were listed Killed in Action/Body Not Recovered.

In 2012 the remains of Maj Sizemore and Maj Andre were recovered. On 9 Apr 2013 the remains of both Maj Sizemore and Maj Andre were positively identified and presented for burial.
