A Note from The Virtual Wall The pilot, crew chief, and five passengers were killed when a U-1A OTTER (tail number 57-6119) of the 54th Aviation Company crashed during take-off from Long Binh on 22 Nov 1967: 54th Avn Co aircrew: CWO David A. Kreitzer, Laconia, NH SP4 Thomas B. Allen, Greenville, MS HHC, 222nd Avn Bn: PFC David L. Tasker, Encino, CA (arrived SVN 11/21/67) In transit from the 90th Replacement Battalion: PVT Sheldon D. Bowler, Murray, UT (arrived SVN 11/15/67) PFC Marshall F. Freng, Elkton, MD (arrived SVN 11/21/67) PFC Steven P. Morse, Bridgeton, MO (arrived SVN 11/15/67) PVT Allyson Y. Sasaki, Honolulu, HI (arrived SVN 11/22/67) Two men survived the crash itself, but died of injuries received - PFC Tasker on 26 November and Warrant Officer Kreitzer on 02 Dec 1967. It was especially sad that none of the newly-arrived soldiers had been in Vietnam more than a week, and one - PVT Sasaki - died the very day he arrived in South Vietnam.
