Comments: Flew sea lane surveliance missions 1955-56 in those not so new B-29's adapted for long range photos of Russian and N Korean coastline. Also Radar ECM missions against sub pens and coastal defences around Vladivostok. Lost a buddy when the ruskies shot down one of our aircraft over Hokkaido. Others on the crew bailed out sucessfully, were picked up by Russian Navy and held for five days. Similiar story to our Navy Pueblo incident but kept very secret. Would be interested in any refrence material regarding the unit. Thanx, John Hampton, USAF 1952-59

Comments: I am an aviation artist whose curent project involves the B/RB-45; I am working up a painting which will be featured as a scale model "box art" for a forthcoming kit. in the process of executing these projects, however, I strive to maintain a sense of histroical accuracy in my art. Hence, I am trying to track down more substantial info on B-45s lost with the 91 SRS in Korea. It is my understanding that. early in the war, three Tornadoes were baled from the 84th BS in the UK; two were subsequently lost to MiGs over the Korean penninsula. I do not know if the loans involved only airframes, or if the crews were TDY as well. At any rate, ANY additonal info you can provide about B-45 or RB-45 losses during the war would be deeply appreciated. Photos - markings descriptions - mission reports - Missing Air Crew Reports - ANYTHING - I'd be grateful. The finished artwork will most likely become part of the USAF Art Collection at the Pentagon.

My name is Frederick J. Ferrer. I am an AIr Force veteran and Historian Emeritus for the 91st Squadron whose distinguished service has lasted from 1917 to present. The 91st was last re-activated as the 91st "Intelligence" Squadron assigned to the National Security Agency at Fort George Meade, Maryland.
After retiring from active-duty in 1999, I have returned to school and currently pursuing a Ph.D. in History. I am still connected with the unit, am writing a 80+year comprehensive history of the unit and recently completed an article specifically on the 91st SRS's service during the Korean War.
I am currently working with the new unit commander to pursue the re-awarding of the Korean Presidential Unit Citiation in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Korean War here in Washington DC. I would love to hear from you.
You can reach me at this e-mail address [AFHonor@aol.com] or call me in the evenings at (410) 859-1791 or -3686. I look forward to adding "your" story to the unit's long, distinguished history.

Service or Relationship: Air Force
Comments: I am looking for personnel from the 31st or 91st Strategic Reconaissance Squadron. I was a member of this unit from January 1950 to December 1951.
I was with the 31st Strat Rcn Sq on Okinawa in 1950. When the war started in Korea we were sent to Japan. Later, our unit designation was changed to 91st Strat Rcn. I'm interested in finding former members. I would appreciate any info.
