RICHARD BAKER wrote on January 27, 2006 CITY AND STATE: SAN JUAN CAPISTRANO CA UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: I'm looking for information on the accident that killed my brother in law, 1st Lt. M.K. Smotherman, in Korea in May of 1952. I believe he was one of a flight of four F-86's that hit a mountain returning from a mission. I'm not sure of circumstances but he was killed when he was apparently making an approach for landing. I"m sure he was not leading the flight but I would like to know anything that anyone might know about it. I would like to be able to obtain a copy of the accident report but don't know how to find one. I was only 15 when it happened and our family never got any of the details. I'd like to hear from anyone with any knowledge of the accident. Thanks, Richard W. Baker Keywords: 1st Lt. Marion K. Smotherman, 69 Fighter bomber squadron, Korea 1952.

He became a pilot and engineer for North American and headed a loving and wonderful family but never regained his good health and passed away in January 1999.
