Comments: I, too, darkened those doors behind you more than a thousand times in my 2.5 years assigned to this squadron - from 2/51 -7/53. I participated in processing film from the 91st and the 98th Bomb Gp. Not only from B-29s but from RB-45s too. Then later, processing gun camera film from Korea, and making composite movies of them monthly. Also assisted in the ECM program when it was in its infancy, taking photos of radar screens in the B-29s. I have several pics of Yokota and its environs, but don't know how to post them. Had the privilege of having had several special assignments.

Comments: Can anyone tell me what unit awards the 548th was awarded during the Vietnam War, especially between the dates September 1, 1971 and August 31, 1973? I need that information to file a complaint about unlawful termination of a Vietnam Era Veteran. I understand the definition of a "Vietnam Era Veteran" has changed and I need to find out if I qualify.

Comments: From September 1971 until August 1973 I was stationed at the 548th at Hickam as a Staff Sergeant Photogrammetric Cartographic Analyst (22150). During the mining of Haiphong harbor (a mission codenamed "Pocket Change" by President Nixon) we received daily reconnaissance photos bounced off the Compass Link satellite from Ubon Royal Thai Air Force Base, redid the target overlays, and bounced them back to Ubon in time for the morning briefings before the next days sorties. I'd be interested in hearing from anyone on either ends of those transmissions.
