Comments: My dad (Robert "Bob" Gross) served at Kunsan AB with the 90th Bomb Squadron (light night intruders) around 1952-1954. I am researching a project to get possible photos of his units or connect with anybody that served with him. All his memorabilia was lost in a fire in 1960.

Mr. Barker,

I'm assisting my friend Harry Copland, a Korean War Veteran, in his 
attempt to locate a fellow Korean War Veteran, an Air Force officer that
was assigned to the 90th Bomb Squadron in 1952. The individual's name is
Robert E. Olson, Serial Number AO2084387.

Harry served in the Squadron with Robert E. Olson at the same time. His
veterans association is trying to contact all the men that served in 
this squadron and they have had no luck with this particular individual.

If you have any information that would assist us with this effort it 
would be appreciated.
