***** Jerry Calame - Col., Allgood was, lost at sea, in a med-evac chopper, that crashed, in route, from Phu Bai, to Danang. He had been severly wounded, in a rocket attack, that night. He was, the commanding officer, of HMM-363 and had been in country, for some time. He was killed, however, on the night, after we returned, from on-ship duty, off, the coast. He was, a true hero and a fearless pilot, who risk his life, many times to extract, or med-evac the Marines, he loved. My prayers are, with him always.

REMARKS: PIL/COP RES - ALL SEARCH FAIL - J


On March 26, 1968, a UH34D was serving as a medevac helicopter in South Vietnam. The crew consisted of the pilot and co-pilot, as well as CPL Larry E. Green,
crew chief; and LCPL Ernest C. Kerr Jr., gunner.

They were transported wounded Marines for medical treatment.

LTC Frankie E. Allgood had been wounded in the temple by shrapnel; LCPL Richard Evancho and CPL Glenn W. Mowrey were also injured. These three were being medevaced onboard the UH34D.

The helicopter crossed a stretch of the South China
Sea during adverse weather conditions. The helicopter crashed into the sea about three miles from its destination, Da Nang, South Vietnam.

Search teams were dispatched at once, and the pilot and co-pilot were rescued. Crew members Kerr and Green were not rescued, nor were the other occupants of the helicopter, including the badly wounded Frankie Allgood.

All were presumed drowned and were classified Killed, Body Not Recovered.

Because the medevac was apparently not struck by hostile fire, the incident was deemed non-battle related.
