Originating as the 6153rd Air Base Unit in October 1950, this organization operated the Seoul Airdrome except when forced to leave in the face of the Chinese advances in December 1950. From around February 1952, the organization also began flying combat support missions under direct control of Headquarters, Fifth Air Force. Flying unarmed, modified C-46, C-47, and B-26 aircraft, the group dropped flares in front line support and for B-26 night interdiction flights. In addition, its aircraft dropped leaflets and in B-26 and C-47 aircraft fitted with speakers and amplifiers flew "voice" psychological warfare missions. Working in close harmony with ground and air intelligence, the 6167th also performed some agent drops and resupply missions deep behind enemy lines during the hours of darkness. The 6167th Operations Squadron received a Distinguished Unit Citation for actions of May-November 1952. Beginning in early 1953, pilots from the 581st Air Resupply and Communications Wing, a special operations organization based in the Philippines, augmented aircrews of the 6167th Air Base Group.

I recently located a writing he submitted in college recounting an experience he had while in Korea. I have a picture where he identified his buddy with the last name Erdman. In this writing he states that after 6 days of rain they were awakened with a red alert. They were told they were not being attacked, but due to flood conditions they had to evacuate the Seoul City Air Base and relocate to an alternate air base 30 miles away. Just checking to see if any of this is familiar to anyone that I might get more information.

Five months of that year I was TDY to Komaki Air Base in Japan while the hanger was rebuilt so that we could maintain our C-47's there. The aircraft were flown to Komaki for periodic maintaince. I also worked on B-26, C-46, and T-6 aircraft while in Korea.Since it's been 54 years since I was there, names of buddies have escaped me. I do remember our line chief was a M/Sgt Black.
