I don't know if he was in the 403rd TCW, but there are several photos that veterans or family of this outfit may appreciate. I uploaded them to Flickr (www.flickr.com).

Entry: 33891 403RD TROOP CARRIER GROUP	403 TCW HISTORY
GLEN A. PICARD wrote on April 29, 2003 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: INTERESTED PERSON Comments: The 403rd Wing History Office is searching for additional historical information and we are interested in contacting veterans who were members of the 403 TCW and it's subordinated units in Korea. We are interested in 1st person information such as letters or memoirs (written then or after the fact), pictures and other documentation including news articles, as well as personal memorabilia for display here at the 403rd Wing HQ at Keesler AFB MS. The 403 TCW played a key part in the operational deployment of the C-119 during the Korean War. That tradition is today being continued with the 403 WG playing a key role in the operational testing the the new C-130J weapon system for both tactical airlift and weather recon (53 WRS-Hurricane Hunters). The 403rd has been a key part of nearly every operation and conflict since it's activation in WWII, but little of this noble history is known, even in military circles, much less by the general public. We need your help to change that. Thank you. Keywords:
