Comments: I started at Sampson (basic) NY,Lowery Field,Denver; Randolph AFB,Texas, Lake Charles AFB,La.,E&E winter survival, Colorado, assigned to the 98th Yakota,Japan. Flew mostly night missions up to the Yalu and Hamhung RR yards. Like to send salute from old flyer to former comerades. Also, silent moment for my buddy S/Sgt.

Comments: Looking for crew mwmbers who flew on Nip On Nees during late 1951 - mid, or so, 1952. I have the address of all gunners,(I flew as tail gunner), but can't locate the radio operator or other crew members. Radio operator's name is Carl Frazzini who came from Denver, Colorado. Anyone who knows the address of my fellow crew members, I understand the AC and Flight Engineer died in an air crash on Guam after the Korean war, please contact me. Also, any fellow gunners who were stationed at Yokota AFB during the above period, let's hear from you.

Unit Background

"Albert V. Toney" Email address wrote:
My chain of command in Japan was:
Far East Air Force(FEAF) Bomber Command
98th Bombardment Wing
344th Bombardment Squadron
For information, I flew 43 combat missions over Korea during the period
between January, 1951, and September, 1951. My Bombing Team, Bombardier
Navigator, Radar Observer), achieved a 98.9 % of bombs in the target
area during those missions when we were the lead aircraft (about 75 %
of the time). The missions that I thought were most productive were
night missions when we were being directed by forward Ground Controllers
who were using radar to guide us on the bomb runs. It wasn't unusual
to drop 40 500lb. bombs 50 yards ahead of our ground forces. We were
able to wipe out attacking forces on many occasions. That is what the
ground controllers told us. We were at 25,000 feet, well above the
clouds, and could not see the ground.
Talk to you later?

Hello...to all frm the 98th Bomb Group....344th Squadron...
I am the daughter of Captain Arthur L. Fred who served in this Grp in
the Korean Conflict. I am searching for any of his "flying buddies"
during the time frm 1950 thru 1951.
He was initially stationed in Spokane, Washington,Fairchild Air Force
Base. And then went to Yokata, Japan. He served as a Navigator with this
Bomb Grp....a Major James Dickert served as Pilot.
In 1955 my father was still ithe Air Force and was stationed in Roswell,
N.M., when flying back from San Antonio his plane went down with no
survivors. I am interested to locate & hear frm any of his "Army Air
Corp"..or "Air Force" buddies.
(My father's home was Southern Illinois).
Thank You....
Donna

My father was a B-29 bomber pilot MIA on 2/27/52, I think, Capt.
Osborne Tommee Carlisle . He had his wife and children's names painted
on his plane: Pat, Karen, Sandy, Lisa..and some dice. Some of the men
came home, his bombadier, Smoky Manion for one. Hadicol for another.
If anyone has any information about my dad, I'd like to know it. In the
database at the Korean Memorial dedication, it said my dad was killed
in action. If so, we were never told that. I don't believe it because
his status was held open for two years. I have his orders at home with
all the unit number stuff. I'll bring it to work so I can add to this.
