Remember Bldg 206, Yokota AB, Japan? |

James (Jim) Grimm wrote on 2003-06-15 01:03:04.0
Comments: Bldg 206 at Yokota was where the 6th Photo/548th/67th photo lab,photo intelligence, and other types of imagery production and evaluation units were located.I arrived in February 1947 and departed in January 1952. My second tour was from January 1954 to January 1957, assigned to the photo lab on both occasions.My third tour was for five years in the 45TRS at Misawa AB, Japan,with many TDYs to other countries, assisting foreign nationals in advanced concepts of photo processing and reproduction techniques.My third tour ended in June 1963, and after that, I got into the spy satellite business until I retired from the Air Force in September 1972.There is a 6th Photo/548thRTS reunion that takes place every two years in different locations in the USA. Anybody who is interested please let me know and I will get you in touch with the reunion planner.

Stationed at Langley Field |

Wilburn Swain wrote on 2003-03-27 22:46:23.0
Comments: I was a young Air Force Buck Sergeant stationed at Langley Field, on my second enlistment, when the Korean War started in 1950. We went by train all the way across the U.S. to Camp Stoneman in California. We went by ship from Fort Mason to Yokahoma, Japan. From there we went by train to Itizuki AFB in Japan. We flew our night Photo missions fron Itizuki over korea until about August 1950. Then we moved over to Teagu and remained there until it was cleared for us to move the unit up to Kimpo. The 162nd Tac recon Sq was part of the 363rd Tac Recon Wing until it was reorganized into the 67th Tac recon wing. The 162 tac Recon became the 12 tac recon sq. Many of us returned home around Feb 1952 as replacements arrived. I retired from the Air Force in 1966 as a M/Sgt after 22 years.
My information is that the 12 Tac was deactivated in later years. I noted in this webb site that Reunions have been held at various places across the country in years past. Can anyone tell me when the next reunion will be held

Comments: While stationed at Yokota Air Base, Japan, the 548th was not attached to a Wing. It was attached directly to FEAF HQ in Tokyo. The squadron was based at Yokota AB for logistical support.

Comments: Though I did not arrive in the 67th Recon Tech Sqdn until May 1951, I do have some knowledge about the 67th Tactical Reconnaissance Wing. It was formed 25 February 1951 using the 363rd (after changing it's name) as the nuceleus of the Wing as it was being formed at Taegu AB (K-2) under the command of Colonel Karl "Pop" Polifka. In August 1951 the Wing moved to Kimpo AB (K-14) and at this time the Wing was able to bring all supporting units together at one installation.

Comments: I was with 363rd at Langley when I got orders to go to Camp Stoeman in early July 1950, as a camera repairman. I was shipped to Itazuki Air Base to Gun camera lab. Within two or three weeks ,lo and behold I heard 363rd was in a compound in Fukaoka. Later i was transfered to Komaki , and the 45th Sgd. We shipped to K-2 in Dec. 50 and later the 363rd arrived. I met alot of ol'e buddies. Eventually I think it became the 67th Rec. Tac, Sqd.I could be mistaken y ou know I'm getting older. In any event let me know.

I would like to commend Jack Morris for his fine stories. He told them
with warmth, spirit and humor. It was a difficult time in US history.
I piloted B-26 bombers in Korea from September 1950 to June 1951 as a
member of the 3rd Bomb Wing stationed in Iwakuni, Japan. I was thankful
that except for re-arming and re-fueling our planes at K-2 we could
return to Japan when our mission was complete. Many times I heard the
call sign "Rabbi" which indicated that a B-26 Recce airplane from Jack
Moriss' unit was in the vicinity.
Thanks for your excellent home page.
