James Elmo Sizemore flew with the 37th TCS in Japan. Well, I know Dad was in Japan but I thought he was a Nav on B-29s. Anyone remember a Nav that smiled all the time, smoke Winston cigs and had a great sense of humor, teased and was from Lawrenceville, Illinois and graduated from Vincennes University? Please let me know. Dad may have earned the nick name Smiling Sam back then as a Nav. He did win recognition for getting a B-29 back to base when the nav system went out and Dad had to get the plane back to base navigating by only the stars! Keywords: Navigator, Sizemore, James Elmo

BOB VEIGEL wrote on June 16, 2002 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: INTERESTED PERSON Comments: My father was at Greenville AFB S.C. and then transferred to Smyrna AFB in Nov 1949. He deployed with the 37th as an aircraft crewchief to Japan and was there until 1952. He then returned to Sewart AFB Tn until 1955 when he was transferred to Germany. The 37th has always held a special meaning for me as I spent my first years as a military brat with them. Dad was one of the people that went to Rio de Janiero Brazil to demonstrate the C-82 to the Brazilian Air Force in 1953. Would like to hear from anyone that was at Sewart with us.
