Great find! Good job.
Was McCain the *only* bad pilot at the Hanoi Hilton? IIRC here were more than a few Air Force,Navy and Marine aviators there with him.In fact,there was at least one lower rank sailor (E-2 or E-3 IIRC) who was there.*He* was blown off the deck of a carrier in the Gulf of Tonkin.Was he a bad *swimmer*?
