My father was part of the 37th T.C. SQDN - I'm trying to find any information I
can regarding his time with this group. He was stationed in Ashiya Japan 1954 -
1957. His name was Gerald E. Teeter.

Any information would be much appreciated.

Thank you,
Sandy MacMaster

I was with the 62nd TCS/37 TCS from May 54 to March 56.When I enlisted, my stepfather told my to keep a copy of all orders I received. So to this day I have some well aged copys of all orders I was given. From my archives I have orders transfering me and the whole squadron from the 62 TCS to the 37 TCS on 15th of November 54.
I was not there when the C-119s were sold to the French but I remember their return and thier replacement C-119G.

We lost a whole bunch of the Gs from in flight prop reversal.
