For your info, I believe that the other crew
member involved in Milikin's incident was Edwin
Tiffany Hawks, aka "Tiff" Hawks. As I understand
it, the aircraft (an RF4C), took a direct hit
from ground fire during a nite photo (Dropping
flares) run. The explosion from the ground fire
may have incapacitated Milikin, who was in the
rear seat.
Hawks ejected and evaded the enemy until he was
picked up by a rescue helicopter that or the
next day.
