CAPTAIN
J. CHARLES PLUMB
Portait of Charlie Plumb, 6" X 4" acrylic by Rise Delmar Ochsner
Captain J. Charles Plumb graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and went on to fly F-4 Phantom jets on 74 successful combat missions over North Vietnam. On his 75th mission, with only five days before he was to return home, Plumb was shot down, captured, tortured, and imprisoned in an 8x8 foot cell.
He would spend the next 2,103 days as a Prisoner Of War in communist prison camps.
During his nearly six years of captivity, Plumb distinguished himself among fellow prisoners as a
professional in underground communications.
Since his return home, more than 4,500 audiences in practically every industry around the world have been spellbound as he draws parallels between his P.O.W experience and the challenges of everyday life; revealing a story of hope, validating the strength of the human spirit.
