Comments: Just watched a program called, "The Battle at Chosin Reservoir" about the Marines being trapped and slaughtered (1950). When I heard the dates, I started listening more intently, then I realized that when my father, Captain Richard Dixon Moore (USAF - KIA Korea - 12/09/1950) flew his last mission, he was flying missions to bomb the bridges the Chinese were using to transport to Chosin Reservoir.
Unfortunately, those who survived escaped on 12/11/1950 and it's sad to think that he didn't get to see that his efforts helped save some of those Marines. I'm glad my father was in the Air Force and not amongst the suffering Marines on the frigid ground and I'm most grateful for the fact that his life ended abruptly and that he was not captured. Gratitude helps me accept that I never got to know him.
This Memorial Day (2018) will be spent in gratitude for all who suffered and were lost in the valiant effort to ward off Communism: I pray that North Korea will come to realize that they have been China's puppets all along and that they were used to host a war in their country at their own peril.

I am trying to find anyone who served with, and remembers my dad. He was an Air policeman, and from his stories, was a buck sergeant during his tour. He went by Bill, and Earnest at various times and places in his life. He wasn't sure what year he served in Korea, recalled that there was a houseboy named Un Duc EE, and often laughed about coming back to the barracks drunk one night, and setting a can of beans on the stove without opening it, and everyone in the barracks going to general quarters when it exploded. does this sound familiar to anyone?

Comments: K-2 Korea 1951-1952
I worked the Direction Finding station on top a mountain just above K-37 a small air field near Taegu, Korea.
This was a cloudy day with the base of the clouds about 1000 feet about the station.
two F-84s returning from up North and low on fuel called for a bearing, I gave them a Northerly bearing which was not taken without concern. The two pilots talked it over and one continued South and the other took the heading North. About every two minutes I would requests a transmission so I could fix a new heading. At one point the pilot asked about the base of the clouds. I informed him they were about 1000 feet above my locations.
As a aircraft gets near the station the null of the signal gets wider on the bearing wheel, when this happened I informed the pilot he was near the station. I had no more than told him and he broke out over the station. There was no other communications between us. he put his aircrafts nose down and landed at K-37. The runway was far to short for his aircraft and he crashed. I was told later he had run off the end of the runway. I also found out that he was out of fuel when he passed over my D/F. The timing was just right, he was able to land at K-37. I was told the pilot was safe. I was also told the other aircraft went down between South Korea and Japan in the water, he was also safe.
After so many years Ive taken interest in some of the activities I was part of. It would be interesting to hear from someone that knew of this incident or was part of it.

44-85172 with the "Black Sheep" in Misawa. He died in 1960 when my wother was 11 years old and after he retired at Grand Forks Air Force Base.
When my mother was born in 1949, he named the airplane after her "Vicki Ree". I am trying to recreate the airplane (in 1/48 scale) for both my mother and grandmother. All I have to go on are two old newspaper articles about the deployment and a black and white photo of poor quality.
It is very difficult to find information from that
era. I am trying to find out what the color scheme
looked like. I have found out information that the
nose and the stripe just above the rudder were yellow. But, that is were the information ends.
I can not find out if the aircraft was polished or
painted. If it was painted, what color?
As far as the airplane goes, I have had a little more luck.
It was built as an F-80A and served in Misawa. It has no known kills acredited and was later converted into an RF-80A-15-LO (around 1950). The aircraft is not on display and was apparently moth-balled or destroyed.
If you have any information that can help me, I would be greatly appreciative.
Thank you in advance.
