Seems he was drafted , altho he was supposed to be the only person left on the farm to help his parents. Before this was discovered, he flew several missions, but a MIG downed him into a rice paddy, when he was almost at the border. Rescued immediately as he was seen going down. Hurt his chest and was in the hospital, From there he was picked up by two MPs who escorted him all the way back to he farm(Evidently his Mother had notified authoritiesd of his wrongful induction). Clem says his records wwere expunged. (he thought at the time he had done something wrong and was being thrown out of the Air Force.!!!!!!! Clem has a very poor recall now, and I'm not sure any of this true????? But if anyone knows how I could verify this info, please contact me, His kids would be thrilled. Keywords: f86

We experienced hardships of living in tents in zero weather, sleeping in trenches while the enemy through hand granades at us from bi-planes.We Called him Bed-Check Charlie. We were flying and Airplane that hadd very little spare parts because the F-86 was put into combat before our fly-away kits were readdy. But our leaders were the best. Col Jack Ratti, Capt Baily, Col Gabreski, these are just a few. My old mind just is not what it used to be. God Bless the 4th but First Keywords: I joined the 4th Supply Sqdn at New Castle Cnty Airport. We flew by C-82's and C-119 across the USA to California. This trip is one I will never forget. We blew a tire on take-off from New Castle. We faced head winds that forced us to land in New Mexico. When we took off and tried to gain sufficient altitude to cross the mountains we blew an engine.When we were landing at Anchorage Alaska we blew a tire and had to wait for them to bring a new one. When we finally landed in Tokyo Japan it was a welcome sight. I was with the 4th up and down South Korea. First Puson, than Suwon, then back to Japan when we lost the Air Bases. Back to Suwon and finally Kimpo where we stayed until I was sent back to the States.All this time we were TDY and when I got back to the States they did'nt know what to do with me. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything in this world.

YUN-KUK (TED) KIM wrote on May 10, 2006 CITY AND STATE: EDMONDS WA UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FRIEND OF VETERAN Comments: Captain Kenneth D. Chandler shot down a MIG-15 in North Korea in December 1951 over Cho-do area. His aircraft, however, was disabled by a MIG's debree ingested into his F-86's engine, knocking it out. He bailed out over the off-shore island of Cho-do. I was stationed there with a US Air Force combat intelligence unit as an interpreter. I happened to be on the beach that day, supervising unloading of a US Navy landing craft. When I saw a Sabre pilot bail out over the Cho-do Bay, I and another Korean airman rowed out into the bay in a row-boat and waited for him. When Capt. Chandler (probably) fell into the water, we grabbed him and pulled him into the boat. We rowed him to a waiting US Navey helicopter and delivered him to safety and home. I am looking for Capt. Chandler if he is the one I rescued and if he is still alive. (He should be between 85 to 90 years old now.) Appreciate any help. Ted Kim, Edmonds, WA. Keywords: I am looking for Capt. Kenneth D.

Holmes, served with the 5th Air Force, 4th Fighter-Interceptor Wing at KIMPO from 1951-1952. In 1969 he retired as a Staff Sgt. while serving at the US Air Force base in Niagara Falls, NY. Dad was a Firefighter at both places. He'd like to hear from those he served with. Please E-mail me and I'll pass it on to Dad (he's touchy when speaking about his service days with his 5 children since all of them, me included, went US Navy!)

Entry: 37915 4TH FIGHTER INTERCEPTOR WING	ROCKER CLUB
PENNY CARRUTHERS wrote on October 30, 2003 CITY AND STATE: OLD SAYBROOK CT UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: INTERESTED PERSON Comments: Several years ago, I found a "stein" with the inscription: "Rocker Club", "Korea, 1954", and "4th F.L.W.". It is in two pieces, a tumbler and a holder. The tumbler appears to be "hand blown". The holder is brass plated filigree in an oriental design with painted areas and a solid handle in the shape of a naked lady made from a base metal plated with brass. The above mentioned inscriptions appear around the bottom of the holder. I would appreciate any information I can get on this piece. If there are surviving members of the "Rocker Club", I would love to hear from you about the history of your club. Thank you, Penny Carruthers Keywords: 4th F.L.W.; Rocker Club; Korea, 1954
