I was there in 52 - 53 as a Radio Operator flying on the C-47 Goonies. I had to return to the ZI in June of 1953 on emergency leave. As a result I did not return to K-16 and never received my Air Medal (I flew 42 C1 Missions) I should be on orders with someone but can't seem to find any of the guys I knew. I lived in tent 706. Anyone have any ideas? My hat is off to all you gypsies-we did a great job saving lives. Keywords:
