CARRIE MUCHOW wrote on July 11, 2011 CITY AND STATE: REEDSBURG WI UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: I have some booklets that were provided by the 162nd Recon. Sq Photo Lab when Bob Hope came for his show at the Taegu Bowl in Korea. I have not been able to find any info on them or any others like them online. I would like to see if they are worth anything or could be donated anywhere. My grandfather, Edward Timm, served and that ishow I got them. I never saw them till after both my grandfather and grandmother died. I spotted them and thought they were really interesting. There are 22 pictures of the performers and some of the troops. It is bound on top by a string of leather. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!! Keywords:

JOE BRENNAN wrote on October 1, 2005 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: OTHER Comments: I'm researching Korean War air combat. I'm specifically interested in two cases where RF-80's evaded attacks by MiG-15's early in the jet fighting: Feb 3 and Feb 23, 1951. Both have interesting Russian sides to the story. The available USAF records don't mention either pilot's name. Does anyone know or could hazard a guess, or even have a list of the 8th TRS pilots at that time? Btw, I'm also interested in any other accounts or experiences of RF-80's v. MiG's Joe Brennan Keywords:

MORT CAMERON wrote on November 26, 1999 CITY AND STATE: CONNEAUT OH UNIT: 8TH/15TH TRS SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: AIR FORCE VETERAN - KOREA Comments: I noticed a unit was missing from the list of reconnaissance units/squadrons. The 8th TRS (Photo Jet) was the precursor to the 15th TRS. From the beginning of the war until Feb 1951 it flew out of Japan and Taegu. In Feb 1951 the 67th Tac Recon Group was organized, and the 8th TRS became the 15th. Of interest, the Marine Photographic Squadron One (VMJ-1) was attached to the 67th for film processing and some mission assignments.
