My late Father Gregory Joseph Sanchez TSGT USAF Ret 1951 - 1975 was stationed
according to his DD214 at HQ 9th Bomb Wing between 1951 and 1955. Either in
Japan or Korea. Would love to hear from anyone from that period who could help
me with my research. Many thanks.

I was in the 1st Bomb Squadron, 9th Bomb Wing at Travis and Mt. Home from 1951 through Dec. 1954. I flew as the radar operator on Oetgen's crew that crashed on Guam on Dec. 17, 1953. I have contact with only one other survivor of that crash, Nelson 'Nub' Graham. I have not been able to locate any of the other survivors or any of the relatives of those killed that day. I wish I knew what happened to everyone.
