The American Forces Thailand Network (AFTN),  military radio and television, provided music, news and entertainment to the American Fighting Man and Woman in Thailand for more than ten years during the Vietnam War.

This web site is dedicated to the nine broadcasters and engineers who gave their lives 50 years ago when a battle damaged RF-4C Phantom Recon Jet crashed into the Udorn AFTN station on April 10, l970. 

This is an unofficial web site.
