Comments: Dr. Lt. Col. Chester A. Hanson was a flight surgeon in Korea, 8th Bomb Squadron, from 1952-54. May have been other years as well (54-56). He reenlisted to Vietnam after returning from Korea to his Columbus, OH medical practice. He was in Columbus for about ten years prior to reenlisting. He became CMO at Fort Sam Houston after serving in Vietman. He also was stationed in Alaska for a few years. He retired in Louisville, KY. Any information, stories, anecdotes, memories about him would be greatly appreciated. I am one of his sons (born 1958), and remember or have been told very little about him. Thank you.

Comments: I was in Japan from May 1948 until the Korean war stationed at Johnson AB. when the war began I transferred to the 3rd group at Yokota. I spent the next 16 months in the group at Iwakuni K-2, and K-8. I rotated in October 1951 and went to the Intel school at Lowry AFB, Colo. I was the first combat intel tech to rotate to the school. I flew several B-26 missions as an observer to learn first hand what a B-26 mission was like. Normal duty I helped brief the crews before missions, debriefed crews upon their return and reported to Fifth AF via teletype. I only served 3 months at Kunson (K-8) as my 30 month tour in the Pacific was long over. I have very fond memories of my time with the 8th BS. I would like to correspond with members and perhaps even email or chat with some. There are not many of us left. I am 79 years old.
