He was a tailgunner on a B29 I believe and the aircraft was shot down. I was told he was picked up by some Marines. He did have scars on the front of his legs. I was told he was awarded a purple heart. Because no one in the family can find a copy of the DD 214 and because records were destroyed in the fire in St. Louis, MO No one seems to be able to find any records that may be stored in Washington DC.

Comments:
As my son Ron wrote, my late husband, Thomas Calvin Young, and I and our son Ronnie, lived in a Quonset hut across the street from the South Sea Sinner crew on Kadena AFB on Okinawa. When the Korean conflict started the Army recommended that all dependents on Okinawa return to the US. I didn't have any place to go and wanted to be moral support for my husband so we stayed. The family across the street went home and we were very surprised when a B-29 crew moved in. They were the crew of the South Sea Sinner. At first, they would ride their motor scooters zooming all around, including through our yard. We were concerned because Ronnie would play in the yard. We didn't want to do anything to lower their morale or curtail their fun but decided we needed to do something. We got acquainted with them and started inviting them over for dinner. Sometimes the whole crew would come, and soon they felt so at home they'd just come in and grab a plate from the kitchen cabinet and join us if we were already eating. Some of the crew members came over often to play Canasta. Their leader, Lou B, was from Valdosta, Georgia -- or as he would say, Valdoster, Georger. They sort of adopted our son Ron and often took him to get ice cream or let him come over to their Quonset to visit. They were, and are, our heroes. We enjoyed having them as friends and neighbors and think of them very often, even after all these years.

Comments: We lived accross the street from the crew of the South Sea Sinner. I was two-four years old (1949-1951). Both the crew and my family lived in a quonset hut. One of the stories that my parents (Calvin and Dorothy Young) used to tell was that one Christmas I got a pop gun. I was so excited and said that I was going over to shoot Spider! Mom used to tell me that I would go over and walk through the bunks and if no one opened and eye, I would be quiet and leave them alone. However, if anyone opened an eye it was game on!

Also, the old movie Harley Davidson and the Marlborough Man had a bar scene where the back bar was the nose art from the South Sea Sinner! I tried to find it but realized that it wouldn;'t even fit in the garage so I gave up.

Comments: Arrived at Lackland after a 3 day train trip from
Connecticut in first week of January 1951. We were
assigned to tents for sleeping quarters with mud
floors. It was a cold winter. They didn't have
sufficient uniforms to issue to us, so we wore our
civilian clothing for many weeks. Used socks for
gloves. After about 4 weeks, we were upgraded to tar
paper barracks; you could see the ground through the
cracks in the floor. Not much better than the tents.
After basic training I went to 2 technical schools
and finally ended up in Vienna, Austria. I remained
in the AF for 20 years retiring in 1971. Was assigned
to NJ, ME, TX, OH and finally Wiesbaden, Germany. I
am now 81 years old and must say that my time in the
Air Force was great. Upon my retirement I received
undergraduate and graduate degrees and was ordained a
permanent deacon the the Roman Catholic Church.
