S/sgt Raymond E Boone

Comments: I would like to know how to find out what unit my father was in. He was killed when I was 3. Sadly now all his sisters and brothers are deceased as well. I am ashamed to say the only things I know is: S/sgt Raymond E Boone joined when he was 17, I think his basic was a Lackland, he was in radar, he served in Alaska, then wsa stationed in Vermont, then Korea, and finally in Michigan (?River Run), He was killed there in an auto accident going from the base hom in June 1955. Anyone who may have known him or can tell me how I can get infoabout his units and so forth, I would greatly appreciate it.

LOOKING FOR INFORMATION

Comments: My step-father served in the US Air Force during the Korean War. He told me that he was involved in photo intelligence. He did not go into detail. He is now deceased, and I am looking for information from anyone who may have also been involved in photo intelligence during the Korean War.

The only other tidbit I am aware of is that he was present at Queen Elizabeth's coronation and gave me pictures of it.

Any information would be helpful.

Thank you!

This is all that I know:

Name: James Taylor Flynn

Service Dates: August 6, 1951 - April 5, 1957

Discharge: Honorable

Rank: Staff Sergeant

I would appreciate any information that anyone has about where and in what units he served in. I'd also like to know what he actually did, and whether he went to Korea.

RAF pilot flying F84's with USAF in Korea

Comments: I am looking for any information about an RAF Pilot Flt.Lte. W.T.L. Rigby RAF. He was usually known as Les Rigby. Both Les and his wife are now deceased, but his daughter has a letter from his wife saying that he flew F84's with the USAF in Korea in 1953.

I know that a few RAF pilots flew with the USAF but information is hard to find. He flew Spitfires in Burma during WWII, then Korea (I have his Korea medal) and then spent quite a few years flying with the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force after converting to helicopters.

If anybody has any information at all I would be pleased to hear from you.

info to aid search for service records

Comments: I am the daughter of a deceased Korean War veteran. My family and I are trying to piece together my father's military history. We know he was in the Air Force reserves and became active during the Korean War (was navy pilot in WWII). His name was John A Anderson II (aka Andy during his service years). He was born in 1923 and would have been an older pilot involved in short term possibly special ops activities. He was from Mass. and spoke with a strong Weymouth accent with a slight Swedish inflection. He was about 5'10", 140 lbs, round face, curly hair but balding at the front. Training was in electicial engineering, radar and aeronautics design. My father retired a colonel in 1973. We have been unable to receive any records from the NPRC. Any information or suggestions would be appreciated.

Thomas McConnell

Comments: Seeking anybody that may have known my father Thomas Lee McConnell as he was very blunt about his military career. As a child I remember him saying he was a hang glider.As I grew older he never wanted to talk about it. He has since passed away & I'm unable to obtain any info of his military background. When I attempt to do so online I get this message "you are unauthorized". He was stationed @ I believe MaCallen AFB in Texas . At my fathers funeral ('94) I was surprised to see military rep's show up & they were cold as stone too.. Are my brothers & myself not entitled to know how our father served our great country ?
