Ronald J. Webb was commissioned a 2d Lt in the U.S. Air Force on January 22, 1960, through the Air Force ROTC program while he attended Indiana University. He would serve five years in the Air Force as a navigator, before an opportunity allowed him to earn his pilot wings in June 1966.
Webb served as an F-4 pilot with the 390th Tactical Fighter Squadron at DaNang AB, South Vietnam beginning in March 1967. On his 44th mission over Vietnam, Webb was involved in a freak mid-air collision and was forced to eject over North Vietnam.
On June 11, 1967 Webb was taken as a Prisoner of war and would spend the next 2,094 days in captivity. For nearly six years he would survive interrogations, physical abuse, and malnutrition at Hỏa Lò Prison, known to American POWs as the "Hanoi Hilton".
Major Webb would finally be released during Operation Homecoming on March 4, 1973.
Interview recorded on April 26, 2023

  • I grew up living across the street from Col. Webb. Guy was a great man and class act. Gave me a T-shirt from when he got in a bar fight with a bunch of Marines. Still had dried up blood on it. I ended up serving in the Corp and the shirt meant that much more. Always enjoyed sitting with him when our family went for dinner and listening to his stories. Fascinating stories about the true experiences of POWs. True hero that deserves the MOH.

He slayed 2 Migs over North Vietnam and flew w/ Robin Olds and even gave Old's his checkout flight on the F-4. Kirk was also instrumental in developing the Red Flag training program. Just wondering if any one here remembers him or served under him. Thanks for the upload.

  • Thank you so much for this interview. I lived next door to Col. Ron "Spider" Webb in Virginia in '76-'78 while I was attending Old Dominion Univ. We moved from San Diego to VA off the back side of Langley and he made us feel so welcome. I remember him taking me on base one day. We drove up to a beautiful 45 ft. twin inboard classic Henderson wooded motor cruiser in the yacht club, sitting in slip No.1. My mouth dropped open. He told me "hey, I had a lot of back pay when I got back home". This was just a couple years after Nixon got them out of that hell hole. Nixon and Pat threw then a big party at the White House. I have never forgotten Ron and his kind and gentle nature. I always passed that down this respect to my children. My son became a Marine for these same reasons. We miss our son Sean very much and wish with all my heart that he could have made it back home from Iraq.

  • I was a junior officer in a combat brigade in Germany. I was sitting in a defensive position briefing, and a Captain was briefing his sector that I was very familiar with. His plan neglected a blind spot at the edge of his kill zone that hid a road big enough for the enemy to drive thru unnoticed by his company from their position. I challenged the plan in the meeting and spoke my peace, and told to sit down and be quiet. The next day the Opposing Forces drove right past them with a whole battalion and rolled up on the rear of our area. They killed all our service/support trains and wiped out the Captain’s entire company, surprising them from behind. In the after action meeting the observer controllers who debriefed us from the 2 star General down highlighted my challenge, acknowledged I was exactly correct. They told the Captain and the other officers who failed to listen to me and instead chastised me for speaking up and challenging the plan and potentially embarrassing the Captain and hurting his ego, that their ego got everyone killed. As I left the meeting the Captain hadn’t learned a thing. He was pissed that I had challenged him. To this day it doesn’t escape me how people who are in a position of leadership doesn’t mean they are leaders. I should have stood my ground, and the leadership should have listened to their people, especially those who have information that might help them win or lose the fight. Don’t take it personal. Be professional and discuss a challenge and make the person challenging the plan explain. I tried to do all that. I told them I have physically walked this ground in a previous exercise and was told about this particular lane and how units get wiped out here.

    • What a great recap. You have to speak the truth no matter the cost. Kudos for saying the right things. I’ve had the same issues and I spoke up to my wing commander who shut me down. The outcome was a draw, not that I cared about who wins. We have too many folks not concentrated or allowed to concentrate on the mission at hand. The honesty that every serviceman brings should be a priority for all leaders. Listen carefully should be part of our ethos. It’s amazing the results of just listening. You learn a whole lot.

  • Thank you for sharing your experience, one that too many had to suffer. I can never come to terms with man’s inhumanity to a fellow being, there must be aberrations in their genetic code. Your story, sadly, must be one of so many endured through senseless wars. If the politicians who made the decision to go to war were in the first front line, I don’t there would be such conflicts. I salute you and all those who endured such misery, tall brave men indeed. Greetings from Tasmania Australia.

  • I just spoke to an ex air traffic controller who was in the Marine Corps post Korea and he witnessed F4 Phantoms USMC operated or mightve been Navy taking off from where he worked as part of the aviation wing within the branch. He described the thunder of the jet engines taking off while at his post and this was around 1961 before the US increasingly got involved in the Vietnam War when it was still advisors.

  • What an absolute patriot. Todays military does not even come close to what this Airman represents. 7 of my family members served in WWII. One died as a member of a B-24 crew. I was too young for Vietnam but served in the Marines at Grenada in a Recon unit (now called Force Recon) that freed college students. Not one of our major conflicts but we did encounter multiple Cuban troops. I think someone made a movie about it.
