Served at K2 from July '52 to June 53' as an Instrument man in the 
69th FBS, 58FBW. We had F-84's. I have some 
colored slides of the aircraft from there.

I was assigned to the 69th Fighter Bomber Squadron, 58th Fighter 
Bomber Group, based at K-2, Tageu, (sp?),  Korea.  I arrived there in
the first week of July 1952.  The 58th had just been reactivated,
replacing the 136th, a National Guard outfit.

On my 71st combat mission, I was hit and downed by an anti-aircraft 
gun on January 15, 1953.  We were part of a max effort, three or four
day series of raids against the bridges at Sinanju.  I ditched in the 
Chongchon river and was caught less than a half hour after I went 
down.  On September 5, 1953, after 235 days in Communist hands, 
I was repatriated at Freedom Village.
