Comments: I am trying to gather information about the air combat operations of USN squadrons in Korea. In case of VA-115 I am especially interested in encounters with MiG’s during the November 1950 strikes on the Yalu bridges. In addition to Air Group 11’s famous encounter with MiG’s 9 November, the VA-115 Historical Report makes mention of two further sightings or encounters the 10th and 12th. Any further info on any of these encounters, by VA-115 or any squadron in Philippine Sea/CVG-11, first hand or not, would be helpful.

Comments: I'm looking for contacts who knew or knew of my grandfather Harry H. Hayden who was stationed aboard the USS Philippine Sea with va-115 in 1950-5?. His headstone lists his rank as LTJG. He used to tell me a lot of humorous stories and I would like to know more about him as a pilot and as a young man. Please e-mail me with any info you have. Thanks, Josh

I enlisted 10 August 1950, discharged 19 May 1954. I served
aboard the Philippine Sea  CV-47 with Attack Squadron VA-115 on
their first deployment in 1950-1951. I later made the cruise
aboard the Yorktown CVA-10 as ships company in 1953-1954.

My father, Wm. J.D. "Bill" Bradford flew ADs off the Philippine Sea,
CVA-47, Second Korean Cruise and the Kearsarge CVA-33. 

I am looking to establish contact with anyone who might have known him
during this time or who was on either of these carriers.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
