136th Fighter Bomber Group

Units

111th Fighter-Bomber Squadron

154th Fighter-Bomber Squadron

182nd Fighter-Bomber Squadron

524th Fighter-Escort Squadron

The 136th FBG moved to Japan, May-July, 1951, with the 182nd FBS functioning by June 1, the 154th FBS by July 1, and the 111th FBS by August 1. The group engaged primarily in interdiction but also flew close air support, escort, and armed reconnaissance missions. On June 26, twelve MiG-15s challenged group F-84 escort fighters that were screening a formation of B-29 bombers attacking a North Korean airfield. Although relatively new to combat, ThunderJet pilots of the 182nd FBS successfully turned back the MiGs, shooting down one. The group, its flying squadrons, and essential support elements moved from Itazuke AB, Japan, to Taegu AB, South Korea, in late September. Despite battle damage, maintenance problems, and inclement weather, the 136th FBG hindered North Korean rail transportation and destroyed large quantities of supplies badly needed by the enemy's front line troops. In the spring of 1952, it concentrated on close air support of front line troops. On June 23, the 136th FBG and another unit successfully attacked the Sui-ho power plant on the Yalu River. This last major aerial assault for the 136th rendered the fourth-largest power plant in the world unserviceable.
