POGIE 105 Missing In Action: Vietnam MIA Colonel Dean Pogreba [Large Print]

By Bev Pogreba and Maxine Albro Pogreba

Book Overview

Vietnam Veteran and Air Force Jet Pilot Colonel Dean "Pogie" Pogreba was shot down in 1965 near the border of Laos and Vietnam in an F-105 Thunderchief and listed MIA (Missing In Action). He served in WWII, Korea and Viet Nam. In 1991, Pogreba's Military ID and Geneva Convention card were found in the Hanoi Military Museum archives but there were never any reports he was captured or a POW via the prisoners who returned. It is believed he was killed in the plane crash but his plane was never found nor his body ever recovered. Dean acquired the nickname "Pogie" via pilots and friends who could not pronounce or spell his last name. Wife and author Maxine Pogreba recalls their life together through three wars before and after that tragic day. This book is suitable for all ages and in large print. It is a great addition to public schools as well as library collections about World War 2, Southeast Asia conflict and POW MIA.
