Comments: My father-in-law served in the Korean War. He was with
a squadron called checkerboard, along with VMA 212. He
was on the USS Batan as an aircraft mechanic. He has
been trying to find people that were there and any one
that may have knowledge or pics of that time. Please
respond as I know he would be happy to hear.

Comments: I joined VMA-212 in mid 1955 and left in mid 1957. I was a member of the finest Ordnance shop in Marine Corps Aviation. During the month of May 1956 our squadron flew 4,276.2 hours with AD aircraft. No one in the history of aviation has ever beaten that record. I would like to reach other Marines that served during that time.

Comments: I was in VMA 212 Ordnance at K-18 then K-6 during the time period Apr '52 to Feb '53. There were many long days, and at times it was hard work lifting those bombs and rockets onto the Corsairs. But, we usually had some time for fun too - cards, dominos, volleyball, snow-ball fights, and "shooting the bull". We all took pride in our jobs, doing our part so the squadron could accomplish its mission.

The story I have heard is that his F4U Corsair had been hit over land, he was able to bailout at sea, but was dragged by his parachute and drowned. I have yet to meet or talk to anyone who knew my dad during WW II or the Korean War. He also flew the Corsair in WWII. I would really appreciate any information that anyone might have.
