    troops and also transported 105 artillery pieces on barges on

    Brown Water Navy help sought
    I am doing research for a book about the crash of 242nd ASHC Chinook #65-0999 on 10 July 1970. It was delivering fuel bladders to Navy patrol boats on the Saigon River in the Mushroom area of the HoBo Woods. The aircraft was struck by 3 RPG’s, crashed and burned. River boats picked up the survivors and moved them to a safer area for medivac.

    I am looking for anyone on the two boats involved or know anyone who was there or witnessed the crash. Two crewmembers and seven passengers lost their lives in this crash.

    I am not real familiar with the Navy in this area as I am an Army vet. I don’t know which units were operating here. Any help would be appreciated.

  19. Wendy Meeks · Reno

    My father Wayne Meeks served from July 1969 to June 1970 as part of the River Assault Squadron, on the M-6 Monitor (Mekong Delta). Unfortunately, my Father is having memory issues. I would like to do something special to honor him. I remember him saying there was a monkey on the boat. I am looking for more information on the boat, pictures hopefully, and of course the crew. My Father had a camera shop, try to put all his pictures on a dvd, but they went out of business and we are still trying to locate the owners. Any help would be appreciated.
