VF-74 in the Korean War

Comments: I have been a military aviation historian / writer for the past 40+ years. This has led to my having numerous books and articles published. You can get on line and go to either www.amazon.com or www.google.com and type in Warren Thompson when they ask for "search". It'll show you some of the things that I have written. Currently, I am writing a book on F4U Corsair operations in the Korean War. I would like to hear from anyone that served in VF-74 during this period.

Comments: My Dad Roland B. St Jacques was a part of VF-74 just before or in the early part of the Korean War. He lived in Brockton MA. I am unsure of what Carrier he was associated with. If anyone was in the Navy with him or has stories or pictures or information please contact me. My dad passed away in 1989. Thanks so much for your help

Comments: I was not with Vf-74 on the Bon Hom Richard in Korea. I did not have enough time left to go, but I painted, and helped to ready the aircraft to go over there and kick some Commie ass. My rate was AM-3. However I don't recall your name. Do you have any names from others who served in VF-74 during, or before your time with them?

I was an AO3 in VF-74 aboard USS Bon Homme Richard (CVA-31) during
Korean cruise 05/52-12/52 operating in the Sea of Japan. It seems like
yesterday.
