Comments: April 1952 to Feb 1953 I was assigned to Company C, 839th Engineer Aviation Battalion at K 14, Kimpo AFB. Then in June 52 we moved back to Osan AFB. I was there when most of the Air Base was rice patties. The runway was 9,000 feet long with 1,ooo foot over runs on each end. When I returned to the states the runway was layed most od the taxi ways and parking apron had been installed. One maintenance hanger was completed.

Comments: Arrived 2 weeks before the war ended. Worked on the runway, roads, and buildings. Dominant aircraft was the F-86. Lived in a 12 man tent on the hill. Supervised a group of Korean laborers on a daily basis. Went to Japan on R&R Had 8 weeks of basic and 8 weeks of engineer training at Fort Leonard Wood. Had a MOS of 1050, general carpenter. Received a 3 Month "Early out" release to attend college and have worked at college Physics Departments for the most part. I've heard that Osan ( k-55 ) is now an airport and would be interested to see what it looks like if I wouldn't have to go by troop ship.

I work out of Osan AB and would like any former member of
the 839th Engineer Aviation Bn. to know that their handiwork still
survives.
I have a picture of the loading platform at base supply which has a
very large block of cement on which the base supply building rests
inscribed with "CO A 839th Engineer Aviation Battalion 1952".

From: Kay Rathjen Email address
My uncle, Dewey Pfister, served in Korea during 1952 - 1953 and is very
interested in locating Mash L. Tatum, Jr. Originally Dewey knew that
Mash was from North Carolina. My uncle does not have a computer, any
information that you can supply will be passed on to him. The second
person that Dewey would like to locate is Robert Weaver, originally
from Buffalo, N.Y.
The unit that these three men served in together was the 839th Engineer
Aviation Battalion. Please, if there is any way to locate these men,
let me know. I know that this would be very rewarding to my uncle.
