8th Fighter Bomber Wing
Stationed at Itazuke AB, Japan, at the beginning of the Korean War and assigned to the Fifth Air Force, the 8th FBW controlled combat groups and attached squadrons that conducted combat operations in Korea, flying mostly interdiction and close air support missions. The 8th FBG and its squadrons moved to South Korea on August 11, 1950, while the wing remained in Japan and assumed operational control of other combat units. The wing replaced the 6131st Tactical Support Wing and reunited with its tactical group in Korea in December 1950. Until the end of the war, it remained in South Korea, performing a variety of missions, including some strategic bombardment, air cover for bombers, armed reconnaissance, and low-level bombing and strafing for interdiction and ground support.

Looking for info on an F-80 strike made, inadvertently, on an American
Convoy. The date was 10 July 1950. Near Chochiwon Korea. They made one
strafing run and then broke it off.
Must have saw the hood panels on the trucks and realized their mistake.
Please Email or put info in The Korean War Project.
