Comments: 2LT O. W. Livingston, who I knew as "Bill", of VMA- 311, had his F9F-2 flame out approaching K-3 in Korea on 30 Sept. 1952, crashed wheels up short of the runway, and died the following day. Can anyone add anything to that brief account for me?

Bill and I were very close friends throughout pre-flight, primary, and basic flight training at Pensacola and I would just like to know more.

Ted met with me at a later date in Washington, DC and signed the photo that I had taken.

Looking for anyone who may have flown with Ted while stationed with the 1st Marine Air Wing during the Korean conflict (1952-53)at K-3.
