Comments: I'm currently seeking any info/pictures on my potential father, James T Witt. He flew in the 3rd Bombardment Group in Korea, 1950-1954. He was shot down in '52 and was a POW from '52-53, released during Operation Big Switch. I would be so delighted to have a picture I help confirm his identity. I believe he may have first enlisted/served at Fort Wayne, IN.

Comments: I am a Korean War Air Loss Analyst and I am looking for a 1950 version of an approach chart for Kunsan AB (K-8).

I would like to get copies of all the charts used by our pilots in Korea during the Korean War.

Today's specific question is what is the location of the KS Beacon at K-8 (September 13, 1953).

Thank you for your support.

Looking for Naval Academy graduates or Air Force Veterans who attended school &/or served with or knew my dad, Robert Bob Bregman. He just passed away, of natural causes, and I'm looking to track down any classmates & or fellow Air Force vets who may have some insight into his time in the service. This was a period of his life that he held dear but rarely discussed and never in detail, so any stories would be so greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

in the conflict. Lloyd was my mother's first cousin. He was
the
only child of Earnest Joseph Bowman/Bauman and Cassie Verdell
Pugmire. I never had the opportunity to meet him, as I was born
6
years to the day after his plane went down. Would love to share
some photos that were taken at the camp of Kunsan. Let me know
if
there is anyway to do this on your site. I will really
