I will tell you we were always armed to the teeth. I read where some one said they were with out guns and ammo on a combat mission which I find hard to believe. All I can say is partner had I been ordered to partake of that mission I would have been DNIF and probably in the stockade.

JERRY CRAFT wrote on September 29, 2008 CITY AND STATE: ROSEVILLE CA UNIT: FEAF BOMBER COMMAND HQ, YOKOTA AB SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: AIR FORCE VETERAN Comments: Only 1 week before RB-29 #44-61815, 91st Strat Recon Sq, Yokota AB was shot down by Soviet fighters, I flew in the tail gun position in that aircraft for a photo mapping mission over southern Honshu. We carried neither guns nor ammo, and I'm assuming that it was unarmed as well on that fateful, last mission on 7 October, 1952 near the Kurile Islands. Even though I wasn't an air crewman (I was a 23- year-old T/Sgt on 6 months TDY from March Field, working in FEAF Bomber Command Hq), the crew treated me like I was a "regular." I'll always remember their hospitality and friendliness; it was especially gratifying for the pilot to periodically call me on the intercom to check how everything was in the tail-gun position. Sure a rotten shame that such great guys met such a miserable fate. Jerry S. Craft former T/Sgt Keywords:

MARLA GOOD wrote on March 16, 2008 CITY AND STATE: TORONTO ON UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: OTHER Comments: Hello all - Thank you for serving, first and foremost. Years ago, a friend gave a tour jacket to me. It's in navy blue velvet that reverses to pale gray satin. The front has "Bobby" embroidered on the left, Asian characters on the right. The back has embroidered "6091st RECON SQUDN" across the shoulders; an embroidered patch, diamond shaped with a winged devil being chased by a knight on horseback with 91 on the shield; then "YOKOTA AIR BASE" AND "JAPAN" underneath. It's not in great shape. Well-worn. But it needs a new home - the right home. I could put it on eBay, but Googling brought me here. I'd like for it to go to the right person, perhaps a family member or someone who might have known this "Bobby" if someone can be found. If there's a museum I should contact, or if someone would like it for sentimental value - I'd prefer that before a collector wants it for collecting's sake - or for huge profits. Please contact me, if there's a good place for this jacket that anyone knows of. I'll send images and information. I want to do the right thing. But, I do need to make a decision soon. Thanks in anticipation of any response, and please excuse me if this is the wrong forum to do this. Keywords: 6091st, Recon, Yokota, Japan,

I worked in crypto at Bomber Command Hq. and was eager to fly in a B-29 (but not one that would fly into Harm's Way over Korea). I received permission to fly in the tail gun position on October 1; these aircraft would photo-map areas south of Yokota one week, then north of the base on alternate weeks. I saw neither guns nor ammo aboard #44-61815 on my flight, and I doubt that it was armed for its flight the following week. Its crew treated me like one of their own. I was greatly saddened when I learned of their deaths. Every one of them, both officers and non-coms, were most gracious hosts who shared their food and coffee.

JOHN HAMPTON wrote on January 2, 2004 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: AIR FORCE VETERAN - KOREA Comments: Flew sea lane surveliance missions 1955-56 in those not so new B-29's adapted for long range photos of Russian and N Korean coastline. Also Radar ECM missions against sub pens and coastal defences around Vladivostok. Lost a buddy when the ruskies shot down one of our aircraft over Hokkaido. Others on the crew bailed out sucessfully, were picked up by Russian Navy and held for five days. Similiar story to our Navy Pueblo incident but kept very secret. Would be interested in any refrence material regarding the unit. Thanx, John Hampton, USAF 1952-59 Keywords: Yokota Air Base, RB-29 aircrew (2nd photographer)
