The 315th TCG inherited C-46 Commando aircraft from the 437th TCG. Following activation on June 10, 1952, it flew troop and cargo airlift and airdrop, leaflet drops, spray missions, air evacuation, search and rescue, and other aerial missions between Japan and Korea. It transported U.S. Army units during exercises in Japan in 1952 and 1953 and airlifted the 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team and other XVI Corps units to Korea in a series of major combat support operations in June and July 1953. Beginning in March 1953, when C-119s in the theater were grounded by propeller malfunctions, the C-46s of the 315th TCG moved all personnel between Korea and southern Japan until the end of the war.

Comments: I am looking for any other members of the Air Force football team at Tachikawa aroung 1951 to 1953. I was number 33. I was a flight navigator on C46, 124s, 130s, and 119 (Flying Boxcars). Mostly flew from Tach. to Kansas City Naval Air Station. Remember fellow officer John L. Lewis. Would love to hear from anyone serving during 1951 to Jan. 1, 1955.
