I'd love to know who wrote this is. Richie was my fiance'. His mom and dad and I met with the pilot who was the sole survivor of the crash. We met him six months after the crash and he was still in cast.
Richie was a helicoptor mechanic on board the Intrepid and had volunteered for air rescue. On the night of June 19th, someone yelled man overboard - the helicopter took off in bad weather - the pilot lost control of the helicoptor and it crashed into the Sea of Japan. The pilot and co-pilot had flight suits on so they floated and were recovered - Richie and one other airman - God rest their souls - went down with the copter.
Richie wrote to me on more than one occasion that there was a shortage of parts to repair the helicopters, and they often had to 'canabalize' the copters to get them airborne. I've always wondered if that was the cause of the crash.
