He served from October '48 until October '52. Would like to know what TBM squadrons would have been based on the Bing Ding at this time and would love to hear from anyone who might remember him. I could provide a photo if you think you might possibly have known him.Although his race was considered "Negro" he was of mixed heritage and looked more Mediteranian or Hispanic with olive complexion and black, wavy hair. He would have been 6'2" tall and about 190 at that time. He was also known as "Sonny" Reid.

I am now an active duty Infantry Officer in the Army and he did not

never finding out. Can you help me?
