Comments: VMF-312 was formed at Oakgrove,NC and first trained at Page Field which was located at Paris Island, SC.I was a Marine pilot assigned to VMF-322. We operated together with VMF-312 at Page Field and also at Kadena Field on the island of Okinawa during WWII. I am searching for web sites about VMF-312 during this period. Your help would be appreciated.

I understand that there are computerized memorials at the new Korean
Memorial in Washington. Is there any way to access these documents
threw the internet? I recently sent information on my Father,
Capt. Leonard Schneider, USMC to be added to the computer and I would
like to view it from my home pc if possible.
My Father was with the 12 Marine Air Wing, Squadron 312. His plane was
shot down Nov. 1951 while he was on a bombing run. He left a young
widow and two baby girls, Dinah age 2 and Cindy age 3 mos.
My Father, Captain Leonard Schneider 029724 USMC was killed in action on
October 25, 1951 while on a bombing misson (his final mission, he was
due to come home) attacking roads and railway bridges near Yonghung,
Korea. His plane was struck by 37mm Anti-Aircraft fire destroying his
right wing. He received the Distinguished Flying Cross with Oak Leaf
Cluster, the Air Medal with 10 Oak Leaf Clusters and the Purple Heart.
He was a member of the 312nd Marine Attack Squadron, 12th Marine Air
Group. He was also a decorated veteran of WWII.
Sincerely,
Dinah Schneider Lane

My father, who died in 1976, was shot down on October 16, 1951 and held
as a POW in Camp 2 until September 4, 1953. He was in the 1st Marine
Air Wing, MAG-12, VMF-312 radio safety.
He was listed as MIA until someone saw a picture of him playing
baseball and recognized him. I think I once saw records saying he was
a cook in the prison camp, but he destroyed all those before his
death.
He never talked about his time as a POW. My sisters and I are
interested in learning more about this time in his life. My mother
thinks there were U.N. troops also being held in that camp and that they
were mostly Irish and Australian.
After release, the surviving men had silver boxes made with all their
names engraved, which my mother still has. I would appreciate hearing
from anyone who knew him.
