Stubbed out a start, hope it helps

First U.S. POW in Vietnam edit

The line "The U.S. lost two aircraft to anti-aircraft fire, with one pilot killed and another, Ensign Everett Alvarez Jr., becoming the first U.S. Prisoner of War in Vietnam." is incorrect, I believe. Floyd Thompson was the first U.S. POW in Vietnam, captured in March 1964. Please correct me if I'm wrong.--Corbec023 (talk) 16:52, 23 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Floyd Thompson was captured 26 March 1964, according to http://www.pownetwork.org/t1.htm.
