Comments: Does anyone have any information about how to contact Major "Moon" Mullins, a fighter/bomber pilot during the earliest raids on Pyongyang in October of 1950? He was reportedly to have seen my uncle climb out of his P-51, and was the last person to see him alive. My uncle, Don Bolt, a fellow pilot who had been shot down and was surrounded by NKorean forces, was too far behind enemy lines to be rescued by helicoptor, and was never heard from again.
Thank you

Comments: Dear Sirs: I am trying to locate anyone who knew my Uncle Bob who was KIA on May 6, 1952. He was a 2Lt. who, as far as I know, had just transitioned from P51's to the F86. I don't know what he was flying when he died but would appreciate any information concerning his short tour in ROK. His service number was A02222230. His older brother Julius was MIA in 1951 and his intent was to join the war and maybe locate his brother.
Sincerely, Peter Mac Taggart

All,
It is with great sorrow that I inform you of the passing of my father
this morning at his home in Bellevue. He died of natural causes.
Would each of you please by any means that you may have, contact all of
my father's dear friends in the 18th FWA and inform them of this.
His first love was my mom, his second was flying. He had a wonderful
and heroic career in the Air Force and was loved and respected by those
who knew him. As a father he was a loving and gentle man. He will be
missed by all who knew him.
Dad has lived and breathed the 18th FWA for many years and was extremely
happy that there was interest in this great organization from others. I
am happy to know that the work and dedication that he has put into this
group has paid such great dividends to so many.
Bud Biteman has finished his final approach and has landed successfully
at the pearly gates. He now can say he has successfully completed the
most important mission known to man...life.
With warm regards,
Jim Biteman
Combined unit Reunion outcome
We're trying to work up a joint reunion in Capetown for Sept (7-13)
'97 of their SAKWVA and our 18th Fighter Wing
Oct 97 follow up:
Our Sept '97 Reunion with the South African Air Force was beyond our
wildest hopes ... the 29 of us were treated more like visiting royalty
than a bunch of Aging, Ancient Aviators... and we revelled in it!
We knew that the South Africans were a hospitable bunch, but had no
idea that they would take us to their bosoms so quickly... we met as
comparative strangers when we climbed off the airplane, but a week
later we were all life-long friends! (and can hardly wait to
go back.....)
I could go into considerable detail ... for your PERSONAL edification,
but it would be much too lengthy for inclusion on your website... all
about SAAF Generals, Lions, Elephants, Zebras and Giraffes... what an
amazing country, and what amazing, friendly people.
