I'm sure Dick, whom I met why he was planning the Voyager project, wrote the
account (It is also in "Misty") not knowing about the earlier death. It
just bothered me that it wasn't true. I admire both Dick and Don.

It is also in "Bury Us Upside Down", the new book by Don Sheppard and
Rick Newman. The RF-4C callsign is Strobe 10 in that version. There
is no mention of it being the only/first General to die in Vietnam.
