"Lefty" served in the 474th Tactical Fighter Wing, flying a tactical strike fighter, a F-111A Aardvark. He was performing a strike on a military facility in Vietnam’s Yen Bai province, a heavily fortified station just northeast of Hanoi. The plane disappeared and for years Capt. Brett's fate was unknown. In the late 1990's it was discovered he went down in North Vietnam on the Red River about 10 Miles south of Yen Bai.

MAJ Brattain was a pilot of the F-4D Phantom II #66-7646, operating in the Vietnam conflict. During a combat visual strike mission, his plane was tasked with an urgent additional mission to assist friendly troops under fire. This lead to a low fuel situation when returning to Da Nang Air base in Quang Nam Province. During landing the plane started to roll to the right, leading to a crash landing. MAJ Brattain was thrown from the aircraft in its final deceleration and died immediately.
