Ув. Владимиру Несамарскому – перенос снизу – о погибших амеровских вертолетчиках
Владимир!
Мне пришлось поотжиматься на поисковиках, но нашел.
В главном вы правы – амовская пресса, конечно, НЕ акцентирует внимание на неудачах.
Однако, как видите, имена все-таки названы были –

Chief Warrant Officer 3 David A. Gibbs, 38, of Ohio, and Chief Warrant Officer 2 Kevin L. Reichert, 28, of Wisconsin.
Рекомендую Микрософтовский поисковик - он в данном случае круче Альтависты оказался.

Two killed in Apache helicopter crash
TIRANA, Albania (AP) - The U.S. Army won't disrupt its plans to send Apache helicopters into combat against Serb forces, despite a crash in Albania's mountains Wednesday that killed two American aviators and brought NATO's first fatalities in its campaign against Yugoslavia.
The crash, during nighttime training in rugged northeastern Albania, was the second in nine days involving one of the two-dozen heavily armed anti-tank Apaches deployed in Albania. They are preparing for combat missions against Yugoslav forces, accused of driving nearly 700,000 ethnic Albanians out of neighboring Kosovo province.
Training will proceed, and the Army will stick to its still-secret schedule for deploying the helicopters in combat, said Lt. Col. Garrie Dornan, a spokesman for the task force that includes the Apaches.
"This will not hinder the timeline - there's no delay, no aircraft grounded," he told reporters Wednesday at Tirana's airport, the Apaches' temporary base.
The U.S. military identified the two Army aviators as Chief Warrant Officer 3 David A. Gibbs, 38, of Ohio, and Chief Warrant Officer 2 Kevin L. Reichert, 28, of Wisconsin. No hometowns were available, according to Maj. Toni Kemper at U.S. European Command in Stuttgart, Germany.
