    My uncle Tom was a door gunner and flew over 500 missions. He would play Santa Claus for years after my dad passed away in 71. He was one of my heroes that saw me through the years after the death of my father

    George Heady put his stuff that he brought back from Nam on EBay awhile back to raise money for vets wounded and killed in action. I bought his Seawolf patch and some poloroid pictures. He was a real savage in battle. Love and respect to all the vets.

      I can tell you that George never put anything on EBay or anywhere else as I can't even teach him how to open an email on a computer. It must have been his daughter that did it, I'll ask him later today.

      @@wishinone That doesn't sound right. Now I'm wondering if the money actually went to help veterans. Bill sold alot of seawolf things. If you want to dig a little deeper and ask questions you may want to contact Scott Kraska who runs Baystate militaria. He bought George's helmet and some other things, and he'd have answers about Rutledge and his ebay auctions.

    At 2:07 we see twin .30 caliber Browning machine gun used by the side door gunners... Were these a pair of standard .30 cal. Brownings or were they aircraft model .30 cal mg's which had a higher rate of fire than the standard .30 caliber model? When I flew with HAL-3 (as a combat cameraman) off USS Harnett County, the gunners were using the twin .30 caliber guns but, this is the first time I have seen these twin mounted guns since Vietnam...

    I was a combat cameraman and flew several strikes with the Seawolves off USS Harnet County. I remember the mounted twin Browning .30 caliber machine guns they were using then (see 2:07 - 2:10). I haven't seen any footage except my own (which I don't have access to) that documents the gunships using twin .30 Cal Brownings as side guns. The M-60 had a firing rate of 500-650 rounds per minute. The Browning .30 cal. fired atthe rate of 400-600 RPM or 800-1,200 RPM for twin guns - WHICH IS QUITE AN INCREASE...

    History is only written by winner but as a N Viet that I can tell surely that if US kept bombing the capital,the N Viet government will retreat and South Viet will prevail and give it more time,it will become another Asian Jewel like South Korea though in lesser degree. North Viet is not that strong as u thought. US has done a great Job in Vietnam though,the communist won the war.
