Comments: Would appreciate whatever information might be obtained from Korean War Project records. Of course, we are not positive that he did in fact go to Korea, as we have no verification of such information.
Keywords: Lt. Elbert L. Kidd was my bombardier in the 419th Sdn, 301st Bomb Grp, 15th Air Force flying B-17s out of Foggia, Italy in WWII. I was his pilot, and understand that Lt. Kidd remained in service and was sent to Korea with the 773rd Bomb Sqdn, 463rd Bomb Grp. At a 301st reunion several years ago I heard that he was sent to Korea and was a casualty there. I do not have his Social Security Number , but his Air Corps service number was 0-776570. His address at the time he went into service in 1943 was Moneta, Virginia. Remaining members of our crew meet bi-annually at the 301st Bomb Group reunion and would like to know whether the sparse information we have about Lt. Kidd is faction or just hearsay. We entertain hopesw that he is still alive and can be contacted.

Comments: Served all of my enlistment at Barksdale AFB in the 301st.Went overseas in a B29 and later to N.Africa and Tule Greenland in KC97.Was on flight status the entire time and we were on alert most of the time.Got married while in the service and was on seperate rations.I learned an awfully lot about a host of things that served me in later life. It was a great experience and memorable four years no regrets at all.SAC took care of their technicians thanks to Gen Curtiss LEMAY.
