Neel, Charles B.

Charlie Neel was Misty 22. He says he “Loved flying the “Hun.” Lucky enough to get to fly as a MISTY FAC (M-22) at Phu Cat. Shot down only once (37MM); rescued feet wet off Dong Hoi, NVN.

“Bud” Day was the first of us to get downed; I, with Guy Gruters, was second. Guy was shot down, again, on his second mission after his first shoot-down, with Bob Craner; they were captured and did 5.5 yrs in the pokey.”
