The 437th TCG's C-46 aircraft began arriving in Japan in early November 1950. Almost immediately the group, in three intensive days, helped to deliver combat materiel to UN ground forces at Pyongyang while evacuating personnel and equipment from forward bases in North Korea. During December, the C-46s continued to deliver combat materiel to the frontline and evacuate ground forces from Sinanju, Pyongyang, and Yonpo, North Korea and from Seoul and Suwon, South Korea. In a five-day period in December, it airlifted almost 2,500 patients from Korea to Japan. When the UN forces regained the initiative in early 1951, the 437th TCG began flying airdrop missions to supply Eighth Army frontline troops. In March, it air-dropped the 187th Regimental Combat Team and two Ranger companies, along with over fifteen tons of ammunition, food, and signal equipment at Munsan-ni. From June to October 1951 and again in the spring of 1952, the 437th TCG flew insecticide spraying missions to hold down disease in South Korea.

Comments: I arrived at Brady Field in September 1951 and was then flown to Tachikawa. Remained there until the arrival of the C-124s, then back to Brady. Remained at Brady until late 52 and then the 344th was moved back to Tachikawa. I departed Japan in the spring of 53. I was the assistant NCOIC of the Electronic Section, which included both radio and radar.
