Comments: I was in the regular Air Force took my basic training. Spent one year in communications school Warren A.F.B Cheyenne Wyoming. Shipped to George A.F.B. The 452 bomb wing ( reserve ) was reactivated and shipped there to prepare to go to Korea. I went with them first to Yonago Japan I believe. Then to Miho A.F.B. We were the first Americans to occupy Miho. We then moved to K-9 A.F B. Pusan Korea. There was a squardron of P51,s when we got there. The 452nd flew B-26's
I worked in the carrier and repeater room keeping them repaired, which was next door to the switch boards. I spent many hours at night sitting at the switch board just to occupy time. It dosn't seem like there was n night went by that we didn't have to call out the emergency crew. one or some of the piolts of the the B26's couldn't get their landing gear lights to indicate if their landing gears were down so they would have to belly land on a sand strip next to the runway. They flew night missions.
