HERVEY S. STOCKMAN
Colonel - United States Air Force
Shot Down: June 11, 1967
Released: March 4, 1973

Colonel Stockman, a native of New Jersey, attended Princeton University for
two years, following which he entered the U.S. Army Air Corps, receiving his
commission and wings in Texas in August 1943. He flew P-51 's in England in
World War II, after which he withdrew from active duty to attend Pratt
Institute Art School in Brooklyn, where he majored in Industrial Design.
Soon he was working for General Motors in Detroit as an automotive stylist
(Cadillac specialist!).

Recalled to active duty in April of 1951, Colonel Stockman enjoyed a lengthy
and varied career including duty with Strategic Fighter Wings, Armed Forces
Staff College, as well as a Staff Officer in NATO. December of 1966 saw him at
Da Nang as Squadron Commander of the 366th TFW from which he was shot down on
June 11, 1967. Colonel Stockman resided in all major prisons of Hanoi:
Heartbreak, Las Vegas. Plantation, and Unity.

"My message is for the development among men of a better understanding of
themselves and their neighbors and mankind in general. It is only in this way
that society can grow constructively and that eventually we can learn to live
in peace. Our objeclives as families, communities, states, and a nation must
be clearly understood and each of us has the God - given responsibility to
work to achieve them. Selfindulgence in all things must be tempered. Certainly
there is always a place for dissent but it should be delivered with
intelligence, coupled with a viable alternative."

Colonel Stockman is presently with the Air War College in Alabama, where he
and his wife, Sally, ("my favorite companion") enjoy golf and tennis. Son
Hervey, Jr., has recently received his Ph.D. in Physics from Columbia
University and is now First Lieutenant in the United States Air Force.

1997
Colonel Stockman retired from the Air Force. He and Sally and reside in New
Mexico
