I would like to commend Jack Morris for his fine stories. He told them 
with warmth, spirit and humor. It was a difficult time in US history. 

I piloted B-26 bombers in Korea from September 1950 to June 1951 as a
member of the 3rd Bomb Wing stationed in Iwakuni, Japan. I was thankful
that except for re-arming and re-fueling our planes at K-2 we could 
return to Japan when our mission was complete. Many times I heard the 
call sign "Rabbi" which indicated that a B-26 Recce airplane from Jack
Moriss' unit was in the vicinity. 

Thanks for your excellent home page.
