Thank you for the information on Lt. Milton L. Wiseman.
The CasDt must have been the date declared as I believe that Lt Wiseman
went down in an RF-80A in either late 1951 or early 1952.
The 15th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron, as well as the 45th TRS and
the 12th TRS made up the 67th Tactical Reconnaissance Group of the 67th
Tactical Reconnaissance Wing, APO 970. During 1951 the 15th TRS was
equipped with RF-80's, the 45th TRS with RF-51's and the 12th TRS was
night photo using the Douglas B-26.
Again, thank you for the response. No further information needed at
this time.
