Comments: My grandfather served in the Army Air Corps and the Air Force from 42 to 71. Retired as an O-6. He served in the 8th Air Force during WWII and in the 5th AF in Korea and beyond. Ended up at the Pentagon. I have no records of his service and I need help. Who do I contact to request his records? Do I need to invoke FOIA? His name is Col. Martin (Marion) Monroe Brewer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Brad

P.S. He died on June 14th, 2010...

Comments: I would like to correspond with anyone who is from that era or descendents of those who were there when I was. My email address is registered with KWP. May god rest those who have gone.

Keywords: I was in Japan at Johnson Air Base when the Korean War began. I was immediately drafted into the 3rd Bomb Group. I stayed with the 8th Sq until October of 1951 at Kunsan (K-8) Korea. I rotated to the US at that time. I am now 80 years old and probably one of the few from that era that is still alive at this writing. I am writing a narrative of my military career and included much about the 3rd Bomb Group in the Korean war. I may be contacted for any information I can furnish. I worked in Group Intel and briefed and debriefed aircrews.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gage, Ripley W., 1st Lieutenant, 3D Bombardment Division (H), Army Air Forces, United States Army is awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for extraordinary achievement while serving as pilot on many high altitude heavy bombardment missions over Germany and German occupied Continental Europe. Under the duress of heavy fighter attacks, anti-aircraft fire, and often under adverse weather conditions, Lieutenant Gage, by his superior airmanship, contributed to the success of all of these operations. The untiring effort, skill and determination under stress of combat displayed by Lieutenant Gage are in keeping with the highest traditions of the Army Air Forces of the United States.
