WILBURN SWAIN wrote on March 27, 2003 CITY AND STATE: NORTH LAS VEGAS NV UNIT: 162ND TAC REC SQ SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: AIR FORCE VETERAN - KOREA 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 Keywords: Willie 0 B 26 Aircraft
