Comments: My father, Ralph Tuzi, was part of the 607th AC&M Air Police and dog handler 1951 to 1955. He watched radar installations. Although he didn't tell me much, he did comment on Korea and the men he served with often. It is a vivid memory of mine. Wouldn't mind talking to anyone who knew him.

Made sure the trucks could make it to the top and made repairs to get them back to the old lacation. Moved to site in the valley in the spring. Was issued a 45 cal grease gun (my ears still ring) was later able to get a carbine. Great outfit and those that errored found the opportunity to march around the flag pole from sunset to sunrise.

I have not been able to view the film yet, but was wondering if the label rings a bell with anyone. If anyone has an idea of what year, etc... the film might be from please contact me. In the meantime, I will continue to look for an 8mm movie projector. Thank you.

I served with U.S.Air Force AC&W Units (607 and 6132) from Albany GA,
Turner AFB. We arrived in Oct '50. Went from Pusan to Pyongyang, some
guys went up as far as Yalu.
After most forces had evacuated from the North, we were one of the last
to leave Pyongyang. I drove a 6X6, with radio van and trailer into
Seoul. It took about 24 hours, because of 'road-blocks' and slippery
mountain roads.
Spent some time on a mountain in Taegu (radar comm site) and another
mountain site near Kangnung. Left Korea in April l952. My job was first
Air Police and then mostly power unit operator for electric supply.

Just a tad of info about the type of work that we did in the 607---

'Unconscious' Pilot Bombs Controller Guides, Saves Blacked-Out Flier
With Fifth Air Force, Apr 26 (Pac S&S)
---First Lt. Richard L. Spaulding fell into a twilight sleep while
flying his Thunderjet fighter-bomber over North Korea recently and woke
up an hour later to find the aircraft nearly shaken apart, although it
landed safely.
"It was as though I were in a dream," said Spaulding. His oxygen
equipment was discovered to be faulty. When as Air Force ground
controller, Capt. Clarence H Bell, saw the plane out of control on his
radar screen, he guided the blacked-out pilot to a target area where
the bombs were dropped and then to a landing field. Spaulding does not
remember releasing the bombs.
The ground controller, who is credited with saving the pilot and the
plane, said, "I had him just north of our nearest air base, in a
position that would have made a perfect bomb run, when he suddenly
asked me if he had released his bombs yet."
"I almost jumped off the mountain. I could just see that air base
after a couple of 1,000 pounders exploded in the center of it."
The dazed pilot had to be coaxed all the way by Bell as if he were
hypnotized.
He said later he could remember only that the plane was shaking. "I
remember the plane vibrating with an awful violence. I was convinced
that it was exploding.
Spaulding refused to land at the first field. Bell then led him to
another air base and guided him down to a perfect landing.
-----End of article--We looked out after your dad and the others
under our supervision closely. As well as telling them where to go and
what to do once they got there. This happened while I was on duty at
the site in charge of radar maint.
Hope you enjoyed it. Tell your Dad Hi for me.

Radar Hill 52-53
From: Leonard Holden
Sent: Saturday, May 01, 1999 4:53 AM
Subject: Leonard Holden, 1952-53
I was in the 607th as a radar operator from Oct. 1952 until Sept. 1953.
Spent many hours on radar hill. I recall our call sign was Romeo. We
were controllers of most front line air support missions as well as
keeping tract of bombing missions in the north. Radar mountain was close
to the 38th parallel and not far from the front lines during my stay
there.
