Fred writes about the 334th and Capt Jabara, who died in an automobile accident. We would like to hear from former 334th members.---ed -------- Date: Tue, 01 Oct 1996 (updated email 4/25/98) From: Fred M Gorsek Jr Fred fgorsek@bullets.net Subject: Capt. James Jabara, 334th Fighter Interceptor Sqd., Worlds First All-Jet Ace. Dear Mr. Barker, I was wondering if Capt James Jabara is still alive, and if so can anyone give me his address or phone number. So far all I have found on these two units is that the Worlds First Jet to Jet Ace was assigned to both Sqd's, as he served two tours of duty in Korea, he was also a triple ace with 15 MIG-15's to his credit, & also was a Fighter pilot in WW II & flew P-51's. I also found that these two Sqd's were part of the 4th Fighter Interceptor Group. This is in response to the 334th FIS that I had previously asked about. Sincerely Fred Gorsek Jr 5th AIR FORCE ( FEAF ) 502nd TACTICAL CONTROL GROUP 605th TACTICAL CONTROL SQD. Air police more from Fred--- Dear Hal, After I left my inquiry, I signed into the USAF Museum at Dayton Ohio and by accident I was looking at their Korean war articles and found that Colonel Jabara was killed in a car accident 17 November 66 travelling to a new assignment.
