RUSSELL BAUGH wrote on August 12, 2001 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: - Comments: I was a pilot in the 7th Division Artillery in 1951 and 1952 in the above mentioned locals. We had two Aviation Sections, one was the Division Headquarters Aviation Section and the other was the Artillery Aviation Section. I was assigned to the 57th Field Artillery Battalion. We in the Artillery functiond as Division Artillery Aviation. As I remember it, we worked harder than the Division Aviation personnel. Almost all of our flying was performed north of the battle line. I flew over 700 hours during my six months at the front and then they rotated me to the 2nd Logistical Command in Pusan. By giving pilots six months at the front with four points per month they could keep us in country for a full year because in our rear assignment, we only received two points per month. It took 36 points to return stateside. But, that was O.K. because we were not in as much danger as we were at the front. I returned to Korea in 1969 and commanded the 7th Division Aviation Battalion from April until December. We could not have a command for longer than six months because we had so many pilots who had never had a command and that was a prerequisit for higher command. I spent the last few months as the Civil Affairs Officer and was reassigned to Heidelberg Germany. I am still in touch with some of our pilots and one observer. The latter and I returned to korea last October in the Korea revisit program and we really enjoyed it. Korea has really changed since the war. Now for some bragging rights. I entered the military as a private in 1943, went through the Aviation Cadet program, was commissioned a 2LT in 1944 and spent 6 1/2 years in the USAF as a fighter pilot.. Unfortunately, I was in the training command and could not do what I wanted to most which was to fly fighters. Most of my time as an instructor was as a P-40 Instructor. I transferred to the Army, as a pilot in 1949 and retired as a Regular Army full colonel in 1978. I really enjoyed my service time, even the time in Korea and Vietnam.
