Comments: I'm looking for anyone stationed at Tachikawa in 1953-54.Iwas with the 47th Sqd, until it was sold to the the Japanese govt. for a dollar a piece for our C-46's. We were moved to Miho in southern Japan. Each airman had a Japanese counter part.That was a experience traing the Japanese. Let me know if you were there at that time.

Comments: I was in the 51st Air Base Gp at Naha, Okinawa when the Korean War began in June 1950. We were quickly called up and operated for a short time out of southern Japan until all C-46's were gathered up from the pacific and formed into the 374th Gp at Tachikawa, Japan. We soon went to K-14, Kimpo, Korea and remained there until we were run out by the Chinese in January 1951. We regrouped at Tachikawa and then went to join the 437th, a reserve group at Brady AB near Fukuoka. I had many good friends in the 47th Sqd and later the 83rd Sqd of the 437th.
