Capt Gromulchec was CO. Mean drunk, screwed with the troops in his hangovers. He was best H-13 pilot I have ever seen (when sober). I had a good camera, have many pictures. I was a trained Rotary wing/fixed wing mechanic, but ran the POL. 80/87, 100/130. We got our 1st HU1A when I was there. I was only one who could drive the 7,000 gal JP4 tanker to Inchon for fuel.

DONALD BLACK wrote on June 5, 2010 City and State: LAKELAND FL Unit: 3RD LAS, I CORP G2 Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN Comments: Would like to hear from anyone in the unit during the 1950 and 1951 period. I was stationed on EtaJima Is. in Hiroshima Bay when the war started. The only pilot was Capt Walter Borden. I was the only mech, and we had one L-5, it was the Stretcher carrying model. When the war started the 3 of us ( plane ,pilot and mech) were sent to Teague about the first part of July 1950. I was placed on Flying orders as an Aerial Observer on 1 Aug 1950. We were quite busy the first several months of the war, there were plenty of tanks and others to call in air strikes on, as well as troop targets. I guess I must have dropped out over 1 million of the leaflets behind the lines. Freedom Passes and others. Enough for now, if You know me, I would like to talk, the only one person I couild ever locate was Mike Lynch. He was Ridgways personal pilot and wound up a Brig. Gen. we talked several times before he died a few years ago and was interned in Arlington. Keywords: L-5, L-16, L-19

FRED ORINGDULPH wrote on April 7, 2002 City and State: PORTLAND OR Unit: 3RD DIVISION AIR SECTION Service or Relationship: ARMY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: I have not had any contact with anyone in our air section since Korea 1953. I had hoped to renew old acquaintences. One item which I have thought of many times over the years was a pilot named Ted(Theodore) Watkins was flying our sector with an observer and had a flying saucer appear beside them and it darted around to the other side. After he landed and told several of us he was told to report to Div HDQTRS to G2 and talk with Major (or Col) John Eisenhower. He never talked about it again that I knew of! I made several attempts to reach him some years ago but was not successful. He was from Arkansas and a graduate from the U of Arkansas as I remember. I would certainly appreciate hearing from anyone else who was privy to that incident! One more item, During the last battle of the war(when the chinese attacked the Cap Rok Division and the the 3rdDiv was required to fill the gap I was asked to fly a intelligence mission with a Col as the observer into and over Chinese territory (approx) 10 miles all of a sudden we were blanketed with antiaircraft fire all around us for some reason we were not shot down and I made it back to a temporary strip (just behind the front lines)I never heard from the officer again or if we fulfilled our mission. I would greatly appreciate hearing from anyone who may have some knowledge of either of these 2 events occuring in my tour of duty. Keywords: We flew L-19, Dehaviland Beavers, L20(Navions)+ Bell Choppers. During 1953 we flew off of 3 strips the longest A22 near Kum Wa ? Our flying sector was primarily between Poppasan and pork chop hill approximately. As I remember we flew between the 40th and 45th Division pilots. We were also close to a mash unit.
