Hello Hal and Ted: In looking for info on the 92nd Bomb Wing I read the
article on the 98th Bomb Wing. Your information is not quite correct,
the 92nd Bomb Wing left Fairchild AFB, WA on June 30th for Yokota, not
the 98th;
They were in the middle of a pcs move to Ramey AFB, P.R. at the time.
The 92nd flew out of Yokota until November 1950 when we were
relieved by the then "recovered and re-deployed 98th BW". The entire
92nd BW was out on the parking ramp watching their arrival. The first
B-29 landed quite short of the runway, recovered - somewhat of a miracle
too- and completed their landing with nose gear nicely folded up by
the flight engineer. No one was hurt, save for a little pride, and we
all had a good laugh and teased our friends until we departed. I was
there, check it out.
The 92nd BW was made up of the 325th, 326th, and 327th Squadrons
and support units. One fine outfit, that 92nd BW!!
