According to the Aircraft Accident Report, "There were ninety-three U.S. Army, mainly highly trained electronics and communications specialists; the other three were members of the Armed Forces of Vietnam." In the San Francisco Chronicle, dated March 17, 1962, only 92 passengers were listed.
On November 28, 2000 I found an additional passenger's name listed in the Washington Post (March 1962). The name of Private 1/C Samuel L. Hunter has now been added to this list which brings the total to 93 passengers.
Also, due to the non-clarity of the microfilm from which I had copied this passenger list in the early 1980's, some names or cities may be mispelled. I have yet to receive an "Official Manifest" of the names of all of the passengers as I had requested (around the same time) under the Freedom of Information Act.
Note:
The FBI and CIA claimed that they had "no records."
Due to the Privacy Act, The Department of the ARMY
was "unable to release the names and addresses of
other known survinging relatives of this flight."
Flying Tiger Line will not release any information --
other than the CAB's Accident Report.
= This is the Official "MIA Red Star."
Here, it also indicates "Surviving Relatives Located"
