Looking for Buddies

Comments: I am the wife of John Snyder, He was a left gunner on a B-29, stationed at Kadena AFB, Okinawa from Nov.1952 to Mar. 1953 was wounded and sent to a hospital at Hawaii. WE would like to hear from anyone that remembers him, He Didn't have time to make many friends as he was there only 4 months. I believe his Group Commander was Col. Harvey Dorsey. A buddy (Vittulo-sp) was killed in the same mission he was on. My husband does not talk abour the Korean War and maybe someone that remembers him will get in contact with him and share something in common betweem them.

Pictures of Korea

Comments: My step-father served in Korea with the 30th Bomb sq. After he passed away a couple of years ago, we discovered pictures and slides we had never seen before. Among the pictures was pictures of B29's nose art, pictures of some B29's in flight and some pictures of B29's on the ground. We also found pictures of him on leave possibly in Japan. I have slides of the following B29 nose art, "Top Mark", Fujigmo, and Dragon Lady. I think my mother has pictures of the nose art of "Bub, Miss NC, Cream of the Crop, Lucifer, Bluetail fly and also "Dragon Lady". I will be glad to share these pictures with others.
