Marine Air Group 33
Hal,
I am trying to get any information about missing US Marine flyers that
may have been taken to Siberia. My father was shot down July 15, 1952
0315.
He is Master Sgt. Robert L Kappelmann #836776 and flew with Marine All
Weather Sqd 513, Marine Aircraft Group 33: 1st Marine Aircrft Wing FMF.
I have gone through most normal channels and even attended the MIA
hearing on the day set aside for Korean MIAs/POWs. Aside from learning
there was likely several boxcars of USA flyers sent to Siberria, I learn
little else.
If you can provide any information or suggest groups that might be
helpful I would appreciated it.
My Email address maybe changing to
kapprl@jea.ci.jax.fl.us
Sincerely,
Bob Kappelmann

I understand Ted Williams was assigned to the 33rd MAG during the War.
Do you know which Squadron he served with and where I can purchase a
patch of the 33rd and a patch of Mr. William's Squadron? Appreciate
your help! bob
