Comments: My dad made a trip to Korean on the USS Philppine Sea when the war first started in 1950. He was in the air wing. I believe he was in the F9F Phanters (VF-111 or VF-112).

His name and rank was: Warren C. Heddy AEC

Does anyone remember him?

Comments: I am trying to gather information about the air combat operations of USN squadrons in Korea. In case of VF-112 I am especially interested in encounters with MiG’s during the November 1950 strikes on the Yalu bridges. VF-112’s encounter with MiG’s 10 November is mentioned in official records, but I am interested in anything further on that encounter or any others by VF-112 or any sdn in Philippine Sea/CVG-11 at that time. Any info, first hand or not, would be helpful.

Comments: My father Paul P. Buczkowski, ADE-3, served with VF-112. He came aboard on Thanksgiving Day, Nov 23 1950 (he was brought out to the Phillipine Sea on the Ammunition Ship USS Katmai). On March 29 1951 he was transfered along with Air Group 11 to the Vally Forge for the trip back to the states. If any one remembers him please contact me, his son.

My thanks to all who served. Sincerly Thomas Buczkowski

Korean Encore

 
Hi,

I was aboard the Phil Sea With VF-112 during the cruise that was called 
the "Korean Encore"  (cruise book title).  Did Mostly mess cooking and 
compartment cleaning for that cruise.  I went to AT-A school after that, 
and made the next cruise aboard the Kearsarge.
