Connections

Comments: Jimmy went to the 4th immediately in a call for pilots with Robbie Riesner and some others. I was in Kingston Jamaica flying a P-47 when Howell went down. I didn't know the facts until I read them here.

The day Major Williams was KIA Masterson and I were flying a misson to Anju. I knew and admired Clyde Voss as any Aggie class of '49 would a member of the class of '41. A good man and and good pilot. I read with interest the hollywood story "Mother" Rigsby put together. Why did I think he was the hero? Then I read the letter Col. Smith wrote to the Williams famly. That is exactly the way I remember it.

I have been doing some research on ancesters in the Civil War and began to wonder if my 8 grand children would be able to find my record in Korea. So I just checked and guess what? I couldn't find a track. That was a great time for me. I loved the training at Shaw. Shrekingost saved my butt one day by finding a port side tiptank shakle wouldn't stay locked. I had landed that plane the day before with a full tank on the left side and no tip on the right.

I thought Ed Stoltz and Ralph White , Jim Furholmen and Scattergood were some of the best I came across in the AF.

I was pleased to serve also as WPIO for both Chickering and Andrews. I would have loved to stay in recce work but some how mats got me and it went down hill from there.

I can fill some spots on Earl Guthrie's flying after he left the service. If anybody is interested. He became a really outstanding test pilot for GD. Even did some fine Recce work in a B-58 during the Cuban missile crisis. In this material he is shown as deceased. I went to his funeral.

I'd love to hear from anybody in the April to Nov, 1952 time block. Or anybody else.

Regards,

Problem is, the DD 214 is missing and the gov't says the records from his service were lost in a fire. Dad told me he got the medals for actions taken in March, 1953.

Comments: I was assigned to the 4th FIW at K-14 April 1952 - Feb. 1953. I was in POL where 4th and 67th personnel worked together.

I have been trying to locate M/Sgt Seldon G. Baker who was there at the same time as I was. He was 1st/Sgt of one of the squadrons I believe. I didn't know him then but I was his Chief Clerk from 7/55 - 3/57 At Hill AFB and Blytheville AFB with the 461st Bomb Wing. Any help in locating him would be appreciated.

Kimpo 1953-54

Comments: The 50 years have dimmed many memories. Highlights were a hiking trip to the summit of Witches Tit With a fellow airman Schmitt from Kentucky. Also the five of us who were sent to Itazuke AFB in Japan for major overhauls of RF80 aircraft. We were there for three months and sent back to Kimpo to finish our tour. I would like to hear from any who have any knowledge of the tour there.

SSgt Charles

Comments: My grandfather, Charles Willard "Chuck" Shimer, was in the 67th Supply Squadron from March of 1951 to February of 1952. He was initially in the 543rd Ammo Supply Squadron, first from Pueblo, Colo. to Norton AFB, San Bernardino, CA to Korea in September 1950. He was wounded and evacuated to Nagoya, Japan on December 23rd, 1950. I would love any information anyone can provide me on the units mentioned, plus Company B 8069th Ranger Bn. Charles was the acting first sergeant from Mar to May of 1951 with the 67th Supply Squadron and was later assigned as a Demolition Tech with the Ranger Bn above. Thanks for your assistance!

K-14 photos

Comments: Just a quick note to direct your attention to a small website that has photos from K-14, Kimpo air base, circa '53-'54. Mostly stuff from the perspective of the 336th FIS -- Sabre jocks. But a few photos that may appeal to any who served at K-14.

March 1953 Kimpo

Comments: I arrived at Kimpo in March 53 and left in December 53. I worked the control desk at the 67th RTS and left on the AF Operation Bootstrap program. I returned on the Revisit Korea program in 93 and thoroughly enjoyed it. Article in the Denver Post (29 Mar 99)from the Dallas Morning News by David Flick identified the website. Your link to www.theforgottenvictory.org and their attempt at a Korean war museum in IL is very good.
