A Note from The Virtual Wall

On 05 April 1970 an OH-6A (tail number 68-17151) from F Troop, 8th Cavalry was shot down while on a recon mission about 10 kilometers west-northwest of Tam Ky. The helo carried three crewmen:
  • WO1 Gary W. Norton, pilot;
  • SSG Myron W. Berg, Woodland Hills, CA, crew chief; and
  • SP4 Raymond C. Graver, Wantagh, NY, observer.
SP4 Graver was killed in the crash; WO1 Norton and SSG Berg were badly burned. Both were taken to the 91st Evacuation Hospital at Chu Lai, where SSG Berg died on 08 April. WO1 Norton survived his injuries.
