Comments: I completed basic training in 1950 and went to Sheppard AFB for aircraft and engine mech training, then to Chanute, Ill for trng as a propeller mech. Some of the guys in my basic training flight were from New England i.e. Bill Klinger, Bill Isherwood, a guy named King and several others. I think some of them were from Fall River, Mass. I remained in the AF and retired in March, 1971. I served during the Korean conflict and was flight engineer on C 130's during Viet Nam.

Comments: 
I think a reference to the U.S. Airforce Training Command should be
included.

In my case, the B-29 combat crew training conducted at Randolph AFB,
Texas,1950-53.  This was a high prority exercise to reactivate AF
Reserve personnel and reclaim the WW2 B-29's from their desert storage
places. 

As is well known, the B-29 bombardment of North Korea was vital
in the early stages of that "police action". Randolph AFB was converted
from T-6 pilot training very quickly to accomodate the B-29's, aircrews
and maintenance personnel. 

At it's peak, around 80 B-29's were flying daily training missions to
qualify flight crews for deployment in overseas action. Aircraft
maintenance was a key element in the success of the program. The 29 was
a maintenance intensive aircraft, which I can attest to as a crew chief
during that period. It took a lot of effort from our ground crews to 
keep those big guys in the air. 

It should also be noted that many aircrews did not return, especially
after the Russian MIG,s entered the airwar. There are numerous
publications on the B-29 efforts in Korea, but not much is written about
the guy's in greasy fatigues.  Thanks for listening. 

Specifically the 3510 and 3512 Maintenance Squadrons. I was the Crew 
Chief of B29, AF Serial No. 4486394, tail No.10, 3510 Maint. Sq. Would
like to know the final disposition of those B29's. The CAF B29, "FIFI
reclaimed from desert storage, was tail No. 35 at Randolph during that period.

Comments: 
I am a member of the Korean War Veterans Association and was just 
surfing to see if there was anything new on the KWVA.org site.  Then I
followed the link over to see if this site had changed.  I am still
searching for AACS friends that also served during the 1951 to 1954 era.

I went through basic with the 3744th, flight 191, then was sent to
Carswell AFB, Fort Worth, TX with the old 1064th Communications Group. 

Then they changed  our name to the 2048th AACS Squadron.  In 1953 I was
transferred to the 2045th at Andrews, and then on to the 244th AACS
Squadron at the Pentagon. My entire service life was spent in what was
called teletype relay control switching centers.  My fondest memories 
are with friends at Carswell, so if you want to add anything to my guest
registration it would be looking for friends from the 2048th.

Best Wishes,
