Brig. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell Jr.

On 03/10/2013, early in the morning, I received the following information:

12th Quadrant, 38th Parallel, died on impact, 6 Phantoms.

(Comment: I could be wrong but I believe this is in regards to where Stilwell’s plane went down. I tried to figure out where this was but really have no idea. So as you can see I received the information in 2013. I am going thru my notes and trying to update information.)

Newspaper Article referring to Stilwell’s Plane Going Down:

Oakland Tribune, July 25, 1966, pages 1 and 7,  Stilwell’s Plane Lost Over Sea.

“A massive air-sea search continued today for a DC-3 which vanished over the Pacific in route to Hawaii yesterday with Brig. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell Jr and two veteran Southern California fliers aboard.

Stilwell, 54, son of the late Gen. Joseph W. (Vinegar Joe) Stilwell who gained fame in the China-Burma-India theater during World War II, is training commander of the renowned ‘Green Beret’ forces.”

The Daily News, August 1, 1966, Huntington and Mt. Vernon, Pennsylvania, page 5, Coast Guard Ends Search for Stilwell:

San Francisco (UPI) – “The Coast Guard has officially ended its search for Army Brig. Gen. Joseph W. Stilwell (Jr), a respected combat officer who disappeared with two other men nine days ago on a flight from here to Honolulu.”
