LTJG Edward J. Broms while assigned to Attack Squadron 66 onboard the aircraft carrier USS INTREPID in the Gulf of Tonkin. On August 1, 1968, he was assigned the fourth position in a 4-plane day strike mission on Dong Dun, Ha Tiny Province, North Vietnam, code-named "Rolling Thunder". Broms launched in his A4C Skyhawk and the four aircraft rolled in on the target as briefed. During pullout, Broms was heard to transmit,"Puffs (flak) all around me." No other radio or visual contact was made with LTJG Broms and an extensive electronic and visual search was started. The search was called off when all efforts produced negative results. The opinion of the incident review board was that there was a low probability of survival. A Radio Hanoi broadcast confirmed the loss of an A4 aircraft during this same time frame, yet no mention was made of the pilot. LTJG Broms was classified "Missing in Action".

August 3, 2012: From: Marjorie (Margie) Broms Waddell. To: Dear Ray (Dermody - VA-66 SDO), I have just visited the VA-66 website and have found your name as the contact person for this squadron. My brother, Edward James Broms, Jr., known by his Naval Academy and Navy Air friends as "Barney", was lost over North Vietnam while on a mission off the U.S.S. Intrepid on August 1st, 1968. Jim, as our family called him, was listed as missing in action. In 1993, an investigation of his crash site produced remains that were tested by the Navy to determine a DNA match with my mother and me. The test at that time was inconclusive. In October of 2011, I was contacted by Navy officials and learned that a subsequent test has indicated that this pilot was indeed a member of our family.
I'm contacting you for two reasons. First, the VA-66 website can now report this important final information for your records and for any pilots who may have known Barney. Second, I want VA-66 to know that he will be buried at Arlington Cemetery on September 7th (2012). Anyone with further interest in this service may contact me using the information above or at this email address. He will be buried with full military honors, with a reception to follow. Thank you for your help with this. If you would, please respond to this message so that I will know that his squadron has received this information. Warm regards, Margie Waddell
