Father C-119 Crew Chief at Ashiya

Robert Howton wrote on 2003-07-01 22:30:27.0

Comments: My dad was Crew Chief of C-119 S/N ending 537 at Ashiya AB, Kyushu, Japan. My family lived in housing at Kokura Army base next to the military jail facility. I remember exploring many times the air raid tunnels there, and going to the pagoda on top of the hill next to the housing area. I remember that my dad lacerated his hand severely on an aircraft surface in I believe Pusan and almost bled to death as it was so cold that he could not feel the injury until someone told him he was bleeding. Prior to that time, he was also the Crew Chief for the aircraft at Wright Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio that Ace Major Richard I. Bong crashed in and was killed. My dad was supposed to have been on that flight, but for unknown reasons had stayed on the ground that day.

Keywords: C-119 Crew Chief, flights from Ashiya AB, Japan to all areas of Korea and return.

David Seelye wrote on 2002-01-17 07:28:18.0

Comments: I am interested in any information on this organization. They issued $1.00, $5.00, and $10.00 bills with the value on the front flanked by 2 seahorses. On the back of the notes is a ship under full sail flanked by 8 point compass.

The notes were printed sometime after january 5, 1950. I have three of the $1.00 values and all came from the Pacific basin.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

David
