Comments: There is a web site dedicated to the history of the 67th. Wing and especially the 15th. TRS of the 67th. TRW at Kimpo, K-14. It covers the years of 1951 through 1954, with yearbook info. Some great photos to look at, contributed by former members. The 12th. TRS is covered also.
Take a look at this URL

Comments: The Air Museum is currently looking for any information from those serving in the 12th Tac.Sqdrn. during the Koren War, who may have flown or crew'd on RB-26C 44-35323. We have found two color photos of this aircraft at Kimpo.
Neither of these photos show any names or nose-art.
This aircraft seems to be the only surviving RB-26.
Like many invaders "323" was used as a fire bomber for the majority of its life after being stricken from service in July of 1958. It was donated to the Air Museum @ 1980.
We would love to here from anyone regarding the combat history of 44-35323. The invader is "airworthy" and is currently based at The Air Museum's new satilite facility Vale'Airport Grand Canyon Ariz.
I can also be reached at the museum daily.
Please call 909 597 4754 and ask for Kyle Rohman.
Thanks to all!

Comments: Was in 12th Tac Recon from Jan til July 53, was "Nose" nav, with Jim Wade as pilot and Ray Falke as "Rear" nav. Have not missed Kimpo, "Bedcheck Charlie" or those stinking rice paddies one bit. Next to Phan Rang Vietnam and Sidi Slimane French Morocco, it is the least likely place I will ever revisit.

Comments: My late-father, Joe L. Parkin (AO2058537), served as a first lieutenant navigator in the 12th Tac Recon Sq. in Korea during the late-spring and summer of 1951. He flew in a plane called the "Martini Kid" with Lt. Ray Graham and a pilot named Meek. I am interested in getting in contact with anyone who might have knwon him, as well as learning more about the mission, equipment, and organization of the 12th TRS.
