Hi,
Dave Fesmire here. I'm the unofficial locator and historian for Troop D (Air) 1/4 Cav, 1st Infantry Div from Sept 1965 to Mar 1970 when it became C Troop (Air) 16th Cav, 1st Aviation Bde Mar 1970 to Feb 1973.
I wanted to let you know I truly appreciate this site. I have some additions for you. Also have jpegs of the appropriate platoon pocket patches if you would like them. Mustangs, Outcasts, Clowns, & 4 Horsemen. Let me know.
OH-13 losses
29-Oct-1967 AC #63-09183 Sp/4 William H Jett, CE/Observer. Aircraft piloted by CWO Robert Bicksler. Crashed and burned. Bicksler wounded and burned, but survived. Believe this occurred West of Lai Khe.
31-Oct-1967 AC #63-09181 Sp/5 Robert V Muller, CE/Observer struck and killed by small arms fire during a VR near Quon Loi. Pilot was LT Gary Lewis, Outcast 7.
I will add more as I review the rest of the aircraft lists, Huey, Loach, & Cobra.
Thanks again,
Dave Fesmire
