Notes
Croat Records SR-5982 A (30859), white label; "MIA" (John Kresnik), 3:05; produced and arranged by Chuck Penington, engineered by Fenton Isaacson. The picture sleeve front shows "MIA" in pink over a photo of a smiling young airman in a flight jacket with a "Wild Weasel" patch, captioned "Mike Bosiljevac". The back states that Captain Mike Bosiljevac, USAF, of Omaha, Nebraska, attended the Air Force Academy and was shot down over North Vietnam near the Son Tay prison compound when the F-105 he was in was struck by a SAM, that the pilot was released in 1973, and that "the Vietnamese authorities have refused to tell us what has happened to Mike".
