12 R.S. RB-26 aircraft markings

Comments: I am an artist helping to decorate the 12R.S.'s heritage room (at Beale AFB) and am looking for information on the markings of the RB-26s that they flew. Sadly, the pictures I have found depict very little of the aircraft. Most are frontal shots of a black aircraft. Can anyone help? Any information would be greatly apreciated, and would help to preserve the history of this unit in Korea. Thanks in advance, Stefan Giachino.

Blackbirds patch

Comments: Hi:

I recently rediscovered a patch that belonged to my father T/Sgt Theodore (Ted) A. Zahm (deceased). He served in Korea as a member of the Blackbirds but most of our family stuff has been lost over the years as he died in 1967 and my mother remarried. I am looking for unit information and any info about his service. I do have his dog tags but I do not know where they are at the moment. The patch has a blue background with a crow or raven with a red hat smoking a cigar and holding what looks like a bomb in its left hand and something that looks like a gray satchel in the other hand. There is a star and a quarter moon (man in the moon) just below and near the crows left foot. Across the top is written Alone! Unarmed! Unafraid? with Blackbirds written across the bottom. I always understood that my dad was a radar operator and after he came home served in SAC and later as an air traffic controller at Tinker AFB in Oklahoma City where he retired from active duty. He was killed in a plane crash in New Mexico in 1967. He was stationed in Japan when I was born in 1956 and I have been told that his military records were lost in a fire. Any help or info would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Steve Zahm

Comments: The Air Museum is currently looking for any information from those serving in the 12th Tac.Sqdrn. during the Koren War, who may have flown or crew'd on RB-26C 44-35323. We have found two color photos of this aircraft at Kimpo. Neither of these photos show any names or nose-art. This aircraft seems to be the only surviving RB-26. Like many invaders "323" was used as a fire bomber for the majority of its life after being stricken from service in July of 1958. It was donated to the Air Museum @ 1980. We would love to here from anyone regarding the combat history of 44-35323. The invader is "airworthy" and is currently based at The Air Museum's new satilite facility Vale'Airport Grand Canyon Ariz. I can also be reached at the museum daily. Please call 909 597 4754 and ask for Kyle Rohman. Thanks to all!
