I am trying to help a fellow Marine find his fellow crew chief on a CH-46 during the Fall of Saigon and DaNang in 1975 (USS Hancock, CVA 19). This guy saved two fellow Marines when their CH-46 (HMM-164) went down during the evacuation of South VietNam in 1975 ( Check out Jakes Hancock site for a complete story, especially written by Corky Johnson. Sure would like to find someone else who knew or knows about him. His name really is Lon Chaney.....just like the actors. Semper Fi, :flag:
