Comments: I was stationed at Brady AFB from Sept '52 until Jan. '53 and flew as a flight Eng. I transfered to Tachikawa and flew as a scanner on C-124s until June 1953. Most of my flying was into Korea; however, I did make trips to Okinawa, Philippines, and Iwo Jima.

Comments: I'm looking for any information that someone may share on my father, Capt. Homer E. Scheets, pilot in the 344th TCS. I have a FAT CATS logo on a beer mug. Any information on my father's war experiences would be very welcomed. Very little is known, as he died in a training mission in a B-24 crash March 28th, 1958.

Comments: Proudly served under Captain Hanig from Jan 1953-Sept 1954. Was a flight engineer and crew chief on a C46 which survived Korea, Big Switch and Little Switch as well as a typhoon. Slept in a tent next to the playing fields of the Tachikawa Red Devils and lost a good friend named Ravling in a crash going into a northern island. Miss the cofee and cake at the CAT shack. Age has taken its toll on my memory of the guys that I lived with, except for a sargent Fink and an airman 2nd named Bryzinski.

Tachikawa AFB
From: Herb Epstein Email address
Sent: Wednesday, November 15, 2000 8:20 PM
Would like to contact any one who was attached to the 344th Troop Carrier
Squadron, based at Brady Air Base, and then transferred to Tachikawa Air Base.
I served as an Airborne radio operator aboard our C-46's, flying to Korea
and back.
Was there during the war for about 8 months, and for an extended tour of 8
months after the war ended. At the end of the war, when we switched some of
our POW's with the NK's, I was in the hospital at FEAMCOM, for 65 days sick
with hepatitis.
After my tour of duty in Japan, transferred to Dover Air Base, Delaware,
flying C-124's to the European area.
Looking to renew any old friendships that "we" might have made while there.
Herb Epstein, A/2c
