kimpo air force base in korea on jan. 5, l95l.
he took his training from lackland afb in texas,
and then he came home on leave, then went to
kessler afb for training for a radio operator.
if anyone who is still alive thru all that horrible war, that knew my brother please e-mail

anyone who might have known him. I was only

sisters and myself have been doing research, we
just now got his casualty papers. please get

Comments: I was at Itami Air Base from May 1952 to May 1953. I was then reassigned to the 801st Medical Air Evac Squadron at Tachikawa AFB. While assigned to the 801st I was assigned to the following locations: K-2 Tague, K-16 Seoul, and K-55 Osan. I am interested in making contact with former members of the 6127th and 801st.
Looking for the following members: Wenzel Frank MINN, Robert Briles IND, Robert Rydell NEB, James Boyle WA, James Wyche FLA, Sheldon Gornstein RI, Robert Burke WY, Dan Copenski NJ, Elmer Wright NY, Robert Karr NY. The above were stationed at Itami Air Base during 1952, 53, and 54.
Itami had a great Airmen's NCO Club. The town outside the main gate was an exciting experience. Remember in particular the following clubs/bars: The New Yorker,Chicago, Pacific, Coconut, Ginza, Bolero, Blackout, Cherry, Harem, and Four Aces.
This was a great assignment. I remember in particular the NCO Club with both American and Japanese entertainment. Great club with slot machines and restaurant. Steak dinner $1.00.
The town outside the base was called several different names: The Hill, The Strip and Hot Rocks were the more popular. I remember some of the club names. The Harem, The Itami, The New Yorker. The Stork Club, The Bolero, The Pacific, The Coconut, The Ginza and The Cherry to name a few.
