ANYONE IN MY SQ. OUT THERE?

Comments: Most of my time was spent in Kyushu. I flew missions into K-2 and K-16. Our squardron consisted of C-47's, but in late 1954 coverted over to C-199's. Our Gooney Birds were send down to Indo China. Roomer has it, that many of them were burned on the field. (sabotaged) The flight nurses were angeles from heaven, and served with honor. Our wonder boys looked up to them like the girl they left at home. The nursed gave them hope that they would be returning home.

I am proud to have served with the Gypsies.

SHERMAN, Frank Foster

Comments: Our Chapter of the Korean War Veterans is involved in a project to assist the American Battle Monuments Commission in obtaining information on all casualties of the Korean War (MIAs/KIAs, Non-Battle Casualties) so that their names and photos (if available) are on the database at the Kiosk in DC. We came across an article in the Amsterdam, NY Recorder of 5 May 1952 on LT Frank Foster Sherman of 21st Troop Carrier Squadron (Gypsies) which indicated that in the course of evacuating wounded on 29 Apr 1952 the plane crashed into the sea. The ABMC has LT. Sherman listed as involved in a "Non-Hostile Air Crash". The paper listed Lt. Sherman as MIA. Anyone out there know about the crash? Kenpage@aol.com
