Comments: I don't find the 1273rd Air Transport Sqdn. listed. We were only in support but we had at least three flights per day into Korea , at or near, the combat zone.We evacuated personnel and equipment out of Seoul in the early days . Pulled the Marines and Army out of Pyongyang, Hamhung, Hungnam and Teague at critical times.
