Contents Note: This is the typed transcription of the oral history interview of Terry Uyeyama recorded in August 1973 by John F. "Jay" Barry (Class of 1950) who was the Associate Editor of the Brown Alumni Monthly. The transcription includes handwritten annotations and underlining in red and blue ink added by John F. Barry as he prepared an article about Uyeyama for the Brown Alumni Monthly. The Brown Library does not have the original sound recordings. In this oral history Uyeyama describes in detail his experiences serving as an F-4 fighter pilot in Vietnam, being shot down and captured by North Vietnamese on March 18, 1968 and his confinement as a prisoner of war at the "Hanoi Hilton." He was held there for almost 5 years, until March 14, 1973 and spent 14 months in solitary confinement. He describes the psychological effect of his prison experience and his life after he returned home to his family.
