David was killed in action by enemy machinegun fire while defending his
aircraft during a combat assault into the AN Khe pass. I believe he was
recommended for the Silver Star for bravery. His aircraft was not shot down,
he was killed while manning his machinegun and suppressing enemy fire. I was
the pilot in the aircraft behind Davids. He was a great young man,God
