Bill Brady relates that he has found his door gunner, Mike Bass, and thanks everyone for their help. Carter Davis, Bill Brady and Mike Fiske, among others, have been on the lookout for Mike for quite a while now. They did not remember his first name but remembered that he was shot in the foot and evacuated in February 1968 while serving as a C Model gunship door gunner. Welcome Home Mike.
Carter is still looking for his door gunner, Black, who was wounded and evacuated to Japan on May 7, 1968. No one recalls Blacks’ first name but here’s hoping that they can find Black or at least account for him. When last seen, Black was at the aid station on Hawk Hill and had suffered a severe wound to his shoulder from .51 caliber machine gun fire.
