Comments: My Dad was in the Air Force for 21 years & served in Missouri with Dallas "Rocky" W. Carlton, RA22997079. Rocky had been in the 73rd Tank Battalion in Korea & had written a personal book, which he named "See You in Hell". The book told about being behind enemy lines, being captured, etc. My family is not sure that he made very many copies, if any, of this book & would like to see if he &/or his family needs or wants a copy. We do know that Rocky was raised in Kentucky.

The book was printed at Dai Nippon Printing Co., Ltd by Air Line
