POW is a Prisoner of War. Americans who were POWs of the North Vietnamese were generally treated very poorly, with many instances of food and sleep deprivation, actual physical torture, and psychological stressing.
USN LT Alvarez was the first US POW of the war, and the first US pilot to be shot down over North Vietnam in '64. Both he and Senator McCain (also shot down) flew the US Navy's A4 Skyhawk in Vietnam. Approximately 362 Skyhawks were lost in the war, and was nick-named "Scooter" by it's airmen.
McCain served approximately 6 1/2 years in the war, of which about 6 years was as a POW.
