Aheron Crew

Comments: I was the radio operator on a B-29 crew commanded by Capt William Aheron. We flew about 28 bombing missions, as a crew, and I flew three additional missions with other crews in a "check ride" role. I have not been in touch with any of the crew since we were broken up at Lake Charles AFB after our return to the States in November 1952 and would like to hear from any of the crew members, or other friends from the Keesler, Randolph, Forbes, Kadena, or Lake Charles days.

Personnel Inquiry

Comments: My father, Curtis Bedsole, was the crew chief on aircraft # 181. On the day it was shot down, aircraft #181 was the lead aircraft on a bomb run. The aircraft was hit and the crew, with the exception of the pilot and flight engineer bailed out and were captured. The pilot and flight engineer died in the crash. (These facts are second hand from my father's memory, and may not be completely accurate).

When I was a young boy my father said nothing about his experiences in Korea. I am now retired from the Air Force and a veteran of the Gulf War. The accounts of the first paragraph are the only accounts my father has relayed to me. I am taking him to Washington next July to visit the memorial. I would love to be able to get some history of this aircraft, what happened to the crew, or anything to give to him. He was very good friends with the flight engineer and I think the fact that he was killed on a mission my father was not on has haunted him all these years. When the memorial was first completed, I tried to get him to go but his attitude was that it was too late. My constant pushing has gotten him to agree to go next summer. I would gratly appreciate any and all help in this matter. I want the visit to be a special time for us both as father and son as well as two veteran. It is my hope that some of his ghosts will be put to rest and he can open up and let me know about his time at Kadena.

Best Regards,

MSgt. Steven P. Bedsole, USAF, (Ret)
