I went through school with Doyle and he met his fate a scant 80 miles from me in Vietnam. I always had regrets about not flying him home but I was not informed of his death until it was too late for me to do so. Rest in Peace.

A Note from The Virtual Wall

Six men were killed when their UH-1H (tail number 67-17614) went down south of Hue/Phu Bai, about 6 kilometers west of Phu Loc:
  • Aircrew, C Co, 158th AHB
    • WO Terrence J. Mortensen, Champaign, IL
    • WO Jerone J. Warnick, Princess Anne, MD
    • SP5 Doyle D. Dunbar, Hamilton, MT

  • Sensor operators, HQ Co, 101st Abn Div
    • CPT Robert A. Young, Little Rock, AR
    • SP5 Herbert S. Hildebrand, Hot Springs, AR

  • Passenger
    • MAJ Neal W. Lovsnes, Carlisle, PA, 101st Admin Co, 101st Abn Div
They were flying "low ship" on a sensor mission when the rotor blade impacted the top of a tall tree. The aircraft caught fire, rolled inverted, and crashed in a cockpit-down attitude before rolling down a hillside where it exploded and burned. The door gunner was thrown free before initial impact, survived the fall, and was found by infantrymen inserted to recover the crew.
