Default Chilling tale by Dick Rutan

Vietnam Combat Story by Dick Rutan

The only USAF General Officer to die during the Vietnam conflict did
so not thirty feet from my cockpit. It was an absolutely horrific
experience.


While I still admire and respect Dick Rutan his opening paragraph in this
story always bothered me. It was not true at the time and still gets
repeated as absolute fact. Major General William Joseph Crumm was killed in
a mid-air collision on 7 July 1967. The incident Dick writes about occurred
a year later.

Regards,

Tex Houston
