DAVID HANSEN wrote on January 21, 2004 CITY AND STATE: PEORIA AZ UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Hi. My name is David Francis Hansen. I am the second son of George Herman Hansen and my mother Lois. I understand that my father was married before he met and married my mother. I am told he had a son, (Butch?) who lives or lived in Carmel or Monterey, CA. My father was a navigator, I believe, during WWII, and transitioned to fighter jets, F-84's, during the Korean War. He was shot down and killed on or about May 1, 1952. His body was never recovered. I was six months old at the time. My older brother Steve was 4 and 1/2. Steve went on to join the Army Special Forces as a medic, and served one tour in Viet Nam. He stayed in the Army, and learned to fly HUEY helicopters. He flew MEDEVAC missions in Germany for a number of years and upon return, became a member of Task Force 160, The Night Stalkers, and flew for Delta Force. Unfortunately he was killed while doing a test flight on a helicopter, in 1988, and is buried in Arlington. I enlisted as a private in the Army late in life, (29 yrs old), in the Infantry. I went to OCS at Ft. Benning GA. I, too, became a Green Beret, and commanded an A-Team for several years and was the XO of a Special Forces Company for another couple of years. I went to the mountains of northern Iraq during Desert Storm. I got out of the service in 1992, just before Clinton became president. I have a briefcase that has photos, most unknown to me, and documents of my father's training and so forth. If anyone would be interested in copies of these items please let me know. Keywords:

JOE BRENNAN wrote on June 10, 2003 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: INTERESTED PERSON Comments: I am researching air combat in the Korean War by non-F-86 units. I am looking for information, first hand and otherwise on F-80 units’ air combat with MiG’s, especially in the period November 1950 thru mid 1951. A few of these encounters are well known and written about in published US works but most are not, sometimes they are only barely mentioned at all in available US records. But some had surprising results from the Soviet perspective that I believe would make them very interesting if described in detail from both sides, so this is what I am trying to do.
