Comments: I am a retired SMS living in Oklahoma. For years I have had a flight suit in my collection with LTC Hillen's name on it along with a large 607th and a 5th Air Force sewed on it. I would like to know a little something about the Colonel and I would like to know what dates he was in the 607th. I live in AWAC country right next door to Tinker AFB, home of the 552nd AWAC Wing and this is of some interest to me. Thank

Comments: I have a unit book as well as a number of pictures taken at wht looks to be forward air bases and radar sites. My father, who died a few years ago, took these pictures during the war. I believe he enlisted at the begiining of the war and was there till the ceasefire. His name was Richard Munroe and was known as Dick or Skid or ? The pictures he took are very small contact prints. The unit book is intact with many signatures in the back. If you guys have any interest in scans of this stuff let me know.

Comments: John I have been looking for you since I got out of the service in 1953. If you are the John Quinn I was in Korea with I have a few pictures of you that don't show your red hair, but you can see the freckles. I took them during a blizzard on the mountain in Pyongyang, remember? We were fueling up those Buda diesels we had for power units. I have some others also that were taken on the hill in Teague. Jim Reagen, Keith Bennett, Kruse, Magby, Jim Kline, Whitehead, and I forget some of the others. I'm not to good at this computer, scanner stuff but i'm trying. Me, the teletype operator, having a hell of a time typing. I never liked typing and being in the communications shack anyway. Thats why I went driving in that 6x6. Sure wish I had found this site before now, but sometimes better than later. E-mail me Johnny and I'll answer right back. Any one else with names I posted and I'll answer. Thanks guys.

During the year I was there I worked as a radar operator, operated the DF site and filled in for the mailman for a short period when he had to go home due to a death in his family. I am trying to locate some of the guys who were stationed there at the same time or anyone for that matter who was there during '56/'57. The guys I am looking for are Jack D. Whatley from Dade City Fla., Bill Huget from Madison Wisc., George Ball from Ft. Smith, Ark., James Parker from S. Carolina and/or Jim Mullinix from Baton Rouge, LA.

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.
