Comments: My uncle Capt. Lee G. SCHLEGEL was shot down and killed while on USAF Mission #5108 on 23 April 1951. He flew that day with Adrian (Spud) CHRISTENSON, Cecil WRIGHT, and an unknown 4th pilot. They were shooting up rail yards in Yonchon, 8 miles SW of Chorwon, Korea. On this same date, Cornelius SCOTT was shot down 8 miles SW of Kumhwa doing much the same thing. If anyone recognizes the names of these fliers, please contact me so we can exchange notes.

My great uncle Emmett N. Long was a Capt.and pilot some where around North Korea around the town of Chinnampo is where it is told that his plane was shot down. I know from family information and information on this site that his Aircraft type was F-80C, and Aircraft number was 49-653. I'm not sure if it was named in any type of personal way.

I saw Kareem on TV yesterday promoting his book and they showed a photo of WW2 Soldier "Smitty" and he looks exactly like the smitty I was in the Army with.
Is this you? If not what advice can you give me to help me contact some of the above mentioned people.

I am looking for information, first hand and otherwise on F-80 units’ air combat with MiG’s, especially in the period November 1950 thru mid 1951. A few of these encounters are well known and written about in published US works but most are not, sometimes they are only barely mentioned at all in available US records. But some had surprising results from the Soviet perspective that I believe would make them very interesting if described in detail from both sides, so this is what I am trying to do.
