Roy Spencer Vietnam Veteran- C130 Pilot He Gave All Colonel Carl Frederick Karst was from Galatia, Kansas and was born on 27 October 1930. He was 43 and married when he was declared dead on 8 February 1974. Colonel Karst was a Snug Forward Air Controller assigned to the 21st Tactical Air Support Squadron at Nha Trang. He and Captain Nguyen X Quy VNAF were flying from Pleiku on a Visual Reconnaissance mission in O-1F S/N 57-2820 when they disappeared. A three-day search failed to find them. Colonel Karst was promoted while missing. Later a Vietnamese villager reported he had heard from an NVA Propaganda Team that the aircraft had been shot down by ground fire. Captain Quy had been killed and Colonel Karst had been captured then executed later in a village in northern Phu Bon Province. The story could not be verified. In 1983 a Vietnamese refugee turned in two bone fragments and Colonel Karst’s identity tag. In 1989 the Vietnamese turned over some remains that were identified as Colonel Karst’s which were buried in Arlington National Cemetery. His name is located at 39W 074 on the Vietnam Memorial.
