Comments: Hello,
May father Major Arthur Fitzpatrick (then Captain) was an SA-16 pilot and detachment commander during the Korean War and was assigned to (I think) K-13. I'm looking for anyone that served or flew with my Dad during the war.
Thanks for your help.
Respectfully,

Comments: I'm trying to help my stepfather, Owen Clark, located a medic who flew with him on a rescue mission in North Korea in November of 1952. He is Elmer Davis, and we think he was from Portland, Oregon. Owen and Elmer rescued a downed pilot, Quinn Fuller.
We recently arranged a reunion between Owen and Quinn, but we'd sure like to complete the picture by contacting Elmer Davis.
