Comments: Hi, please be patient with me as I do not have alot of information. I am Lynn's wife. He lost everything in a fire years ago, Before I met him I would very much like to find information for him. Also uniform, jacket etc.. I would like to surprise him. All I know is he served in Korea I believe in 1950 to 54. He said when he first joined it was still called Army Air force. I believe he was also a gunner. Anyone remember him?

Comments: Can anyone tell me the name of the 49th wing commander who was shot down in the closing year of the war. If I remeber correctly, he was the next-to-last POW released.
Any one who served with 49th in hte last year or two of the war should remember Grp. Commander Robert J. Rogers. A truly fantatic officer and person.

Comments: I served at K-2 (Taegu) from March 1952 until March, 1953. Was assigned to the Communications Center which also included the base telephone section. Does anyone remember picking up their telephone to make a call and hear a female voice say "Caravan Rear", take your number and place your call? Sometime during late 1952, or very early 1953 the 49th was closed and the 58th replaced it. Also, does anyone remember the term "Going Figmo"? Would like to hear from anyone there at that time. Also, how about walking the sewer pipe at the old beer hall??

Background
The 49th FBW provided air defense of Japan until December 1, 1950, when it moved without personnel or equipment to Taegu AB, South Korea, replacing the 6149th Tactical Support Wing.
The wing's non-tactical units returned to Japan for a month in January-February 1951, except for a wing detachment that stayed to refuel and rearm aircraft staging through Taegu - a vital mission maintained for most of the war.
The 49th FBW was attached to the 58th FBW, March 16-31, 1953. On April 1, in a designation switch, the 49th moved without personnel or equipment to Kunsan AB, where it absorbed the resources of the 474th FBW and continued combat operations to July 27.
