Comments: Does anyone have any information regarding the
modification of a Cessna L-19 Birddog for use with a
Hycon K-46 Aerial Night Recon Camera. It had a
controller that was used on the back of the first
seat for the second person to use. Probably used
with photo flash bombs.

Any help regarding it's use would be most appreciated!

Thanks,
Paula Field

Comments: I found a copy of the 1950 book among my father's (Robert J. Smith) possessions. I can't find his photo, but I believe he was with the squadron. He was a pilot. He died when I was very young; I would love to hear from anyone with the squadron who may remember him.

Comments: My father, John Bacon, served in the 162nd at Taegu during the Korean War. They did night recon, mostly. He told me when the Chinese pushed through they had to burn everything and go to Japan. I believe, though I may be wrong, that they were able to return when MacArthur took Inchon. I can find out more info for you. Email me if you wish.

Comments: All:
I recently took over as the crew chief on an A-26"C" Invader at Castle Air Museum in Atwater California. The tail number that is on it designates it as belonging to the 162nd Tac. Recon. Sq. Any information on the squadron would be great, color photos are needed to help with painting the units insignia on our air craft. Thanks a lot!
