At Shaw AFB 8-14-50 untill Late Oct. 1950, 437th Troop carrier Wing [M ] and all of its components were transfered to Kyushu, Japan. There were 48 C 46's that were equiped with extra gas tanks for the long flight. We occupied an old Sea plan base and built a runway with a straw and sand base covered with steel matting, and built a tent city, with slit trenches between each tent. 2. Rotating home in the Spring of 1950. We had four Squadrons, 83rd, 84th, 85th, based at Brady Field on Kyushu and the 86th on Honshu at Tachikawa AFB. 3. I would be intrested in hearing from any member of any component of the 437th TCW {M} having served in the Far East 1950 to 1953 intrested in planning a 50th anniversary meeting in August of 2000.
