F-84 return via Direction Finder bearings |
|

Richard Baumgartner wrote on 2008-09-19 20:38:18.0
Comments: K-2 Korea 1951-1952
I worked the Direction Finding station on top a mountain just above K-37 a small air field near Taegu, Korea. This was a cloudy day with the base of the clouds about 1000 feet about the station. two F-84s returning from up North and low on fuel called for a bearing, I gave them a Northerly bearing which was not taken without concern. The two pilots talked it over and one continued South and the other took the heading North. About every two minutes I would requests a transmission so I could fix a new heading. At one point the pilot asked about the base of the clouds. I informed him they were about 1000 feet above my locations. As a aircraft gets near the station the null of the signal gets wider on the bearing wheel, when this happened I informed the pilot he was near the station. I had no more than told him and he broke out over the station. There was no other communications between us. he put his aircrafts nose down and landed at K-37. The runway was far to short for his aircraft and he crashed. I was told later he had run off the end of the runway. I also found out that he was out of fuel when he passed over my D/F. The timing was just right, he was able to land at K-37. I was told the pilot was safe. I was also told the other aircraft went down between South Korea and Japan in the water, he was also safe. After so many years Ive taken interest in some of the activities I was part of. It would be interesting to hear from someone that knew of this incident or was part of it.

On Sun, 9 Mar 1997 Jerry Connors added:
In 1952 the 49th Fighter Bomber Group was at Taegu with F-84s. The Wing Commander was Col. David T. McKnight Feb. 1952-Aug 1952; Col.Robert J. Rogers Aug 1952-Apr. 1953.
There was an F-84 outfit there earlier that I believe was still there in 1952. They had Recon aircraft. No guns, only cameras, but I think they would have carried another designator other than FS.

DISTINGUISHED UNIT CITATION
HEADQUARTERS
FAR EAST AIR FORCES
APO 925
GENERAL ORDERS) 8 March 1951
:
NUMBER 93)
DISTINGUISHED UNIT CITATION
As authorized by Executive Order 9396, 22 November 1943 (Sec I, WD Bul
22, 1943) superseding Executive Order 9075, 26 February 1942 (Sec III,
WD Bul 11, 1942), the following unit is cited under the provisions of
Air Force Regulation 35-75, 7 August 1950, in the name of the President
of the United States as public evidence of deserved honor and
distinction. The citation reads os follows:
The 49th Fighter-Bomber Group is cited for extraordinary heroism and
fidelity during the period 27 June to 25 November 1950.
The 49th Fighter-Bomber Group especially distinguished itself as the
first jet fighter organization to operate actively in the combat field.
This operation, unparalleled in the history of the Air Force, extended
the effective striking range of the F-80 aircraft in excess of 200 miles
over the previous operations from air bases in Japan. The resulting
increases in combat sorties, savings in fuel and ability to remain over
enemy territory for greater periods were inestimable contributions to
the United Nations effort.
The outstanding service rendered by this organization while flying over
9,664 combat sorties in close support of the United Nations forces is
strikingly demonstrated by the following record of damage and
destruction inflicted on the enemy: 27 aircraft, 239 tanks,
105 vehicles, 94 locomotives, 1,706 rail cars, and 2,900 miscellaneous
targets including bridges, supply dumps and vessels.
Despite the necessity of relocating assigned units on four separate
occasions, the 49th Fighter-Bomber Group has provided continous combat
effort with undiminished effectiveness. Valuable information relative
to capabilities, limitations and behavior of jet fighter aircraft under
actual combat conditions was compiled by this organization, materially
increasing subsequent operational effectiveness in the Korean conflict
and providing standard organizational procedures for future operations.
The arial achievements of this organization are reslendent with repeated
acts of heroism, gallantry and high personal courage. The impressive
total of 17,625 combat hours flown by this organization is indicative of
the high caliber and skill of maintenance and ground personnel.
Operating under adverse and hazardous conditions on a continuous daily
schedule, the officers and airmen of the 49th Fighter-Bomber Group
performed in such a manner as to reflect the greatest credit on the or-
ganization, the Far East Air Forces, and the United States Air Force.

the reenlistment idiot and went over and went into the Air Force. I was
in due time shipped to Korea and up to K2 Tegue as a heavy equipment

build the revetments around many af the POL tanks and also the bomb
