No doubt Marviksin was a helo-pilot who served in RVN. But there is absolutely no record of him ever being a POW let alone being an escaped POW. Only 30 people ever escaped while being maintained in POW status and their change of status is highly documented.If he lied about that, I suspect there were other imbelishmenmts.He's dead now so we may never find out. W/O requesting a copy of his DD Form 214.If it's fiction, label it. There are too many good and factual renderings to have to be forced to determine truth from fact in this one.
