Code name for the drops was "Aching Back", because of the difficulty in hitting the drop zone due to downdrafts, turbulence and slow required air speeds. If anyone has a picture of these drops from the ground up, I would appreciate a copy. Thank Ed Keywords: 817th Troop Carrier Squadron Blue Tail Flies |

502ND TACTICAL CONTROL GROUP COMMUNICATIONS OFFICER 12/28/52-7/27/53 |
|
|
| NATHANIEL HEFFERNAN wrote on January 2, 2001 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Captain NATHANIEL J. HEFFERNAN distinguished himself by meritorious service in connection with military operations against an enemy, as Communications Officer of the 502nd Tactical Control Group, during the period 28 December 1952 to 27 July 1953. During February 1953, when numerous air strikes were made along the Yalu river by United Nations aircraft, the communications were hampered by radar interference. Captain HEFFERNAN was instrumental in coordinating the activity, thus eliminating the interference. To provide immediate support in detecting and destroying low, slow flying enemy aircraft, Captain HEFFERNAN, on 28 April 1953, established communications for a light weight radar station in the Inchon area. This site was installed and operated by Group headquarters personnel during the first 24 hour period, before being assigned to a subordinate command. Due to the expeditious installation, this station aided in the destruction of three (3) PO2 enemy aircraft. During the month, prior to the cessation of hostilities, United Nations aircraft were required to provide closer ground support than had previously been attempted. Under the directions of Captain HEFFERNAN, the communications system operated at peak efficency, insuring the success of the tactical operations against the enemy. He initiated and wrote greatly improved regulations and standing operating procedures, dealing with very-high-frequency modulation radio equipment. Through his initiative and devotion to duty, Captain HEFFERNAN has brought great credit upon himself and the United States Air Force. -------------------------------------------------- If anyone has any other information about Captain Heffernan, Please contact me at Michael@HeffComm.net If you met him, you would remember him. He was an Army Sargent during World War II with Ten (10) Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Ribbons, Silver Star, 3 Purple Hearts, CIB, and previous to that a Ranger in the Pacific. Only one of three brothers to come out of the Pacific Alive. Keywords: By Direction of the President, Captain NATHANIEL J. HEFFERNAN, AO 1342272, United States Air Force, has been awarded the Bronze Star Medal. |

Spent a year there with MSQ 1 close support radar. We closed the base in Sept 1955 taking everything to our HQ at Kangnung.
