He was from Parma, Missouri and served as a crew chief/ door gunner on a UH-1C gunship. On May 5, 1968, in combat operations near Landing Zone Center, Carter and his door gunner, SP5 Black, were hit by .51 caliber machine gun fire and wounded. Both were medically evacuated to Japan. His pilot was Cpt. Ron Grooms, the gun platoon leader. These images span the twenty two years of Carters' service in the US Army.

Blueghost737 Reminisces

  Remembrances by Carter Davis, Original Blue Ghost 1967-68Fellas,

This is a little something I put together from journal and my memory. Even after I finished it I keep recalling things I didn't remember but left out. I am starting a note pad here. As I remember I will write it down.

Enjoy my article.
