| Okay, now I know Harm's Dad isn't a regular on the show, but a lot has been learnt about him through Harm's endevours to find his Dad, so I figured I'd put it up here!! |

| Harmon "Hammer" Rabb was an aviator in the US Navy. He went MIA after being shot down during the Vietnam War. |
| Harmon Rabb was married to Trish Rabb, and the pair had a son, Harmon Rabb Jr. "Little Harm" as he was referred to, was 5 years old when his father went MIA and then dedicated most of his life to learning about what happened to Hammer. |
| Hammer's last day of freedom was spent on board the USS Ticongarona (I have no idea how to speel it, any help would be appreciated!!). The day before he flew the mission in which he was shot down, the crew with Bob Hope's travelling show arrived. Hammer spent a considerable amount of time with Jenny Lake, one of the singers. The pair swapped Christmas gifts, with Hammer giving her his gold wings. It was on Christmas Eve that Hammer was shot down. |
| After being shot down, Hammer's wingman, Thomas Boone, flew overhead, keeping an eye on him. He reached bingo fuel and had to return to the carrier, and in the time between him leaving and rescue heilo arriving, Hammer and his wingman were marched to a POW Camp. |
| After the conclusion of the war, Hammer was transferred to Russia. He died in Russia, protectng a Russian Gypsy he had befriended from soldiers. |
