Unit background

The 1955-5 AACS unit I was assigned to in 1952 was stationed in 
Fukuoka, Japan.

I was an airborne radio operator and we flew to Korea almost every day with
supplies, troops & mail.  Never did, as I said, see actual ground 
combat, but our detachment was given the Korean  Service Medal and the
ROK Pres. Unit Citation. Also got the U.N. Service and Good Conduct
medals...(I'm copying this is off my DD214).

Prior to the 1955-5,  I was assigned to the 1951st AACS Squadron in 
Itami, Japan where I worked for FEAF Hq.  We intercepted Russian and 
other info there.  Was discharged 20 Sept. 1955 in Japan and reenlisted 
to fill my own vacancy.

Hope this info will be of some help.
Thanks
Bill Floyd
