Re: Longest Running Thread EVER
On April 2, 1982 a mail plane crashed into a mountain at Crete. The plane was a mail plane off of the U.S.S. Eisenhower, that, among other things, passangers including my Uncle Michael Davis.
My grandparents and my mom were notified initially that the plane had crashed in the ocean on the way to Greece. Later, they were informed that it had hit the mountain and that there were survivors on the mountain side. A third time they were approached and informed that he was dead from thermal burns.
My uncle was born on October 29, 1956. I was three years old at the time of his death.
I do not remember my uncle but I would like to learn more about him. I have decided to get information about his service, his life, and the circumstances behind his death. Any advice on how to go about this? I know you can get some information through the navy, which I will do eventually, but are there other ways, such as through the Freedom of Information Act?
