Comments: I don't know the dates, but I know my father flew the AT6 as a forward air controller. He spent only about 30 days in Korea, and flew about 60 missions (a record for the time I understand). His name is Billy D. Brown. He was a 1st lt while in Korea. He retired as a major from Shepard AFB in 1967. He has been gone now for 16 years, I missed getting to know his service history. If you served with or knew of him, please send me a note. Thank you.

================================

Bout One, June 29th 1950

From: Harold Kenneth Gower
RR 1 Box 100B
Kruger MS 38924

Sent: Friday, November 12, 1999 6:19 AM
Subject: Korean War site 

Congratulations on remembering our service.
July 4, 1999, I was priviledged to be honored (for the very first time)
at a church service in Ewing, MO with a salute to veterans. It was 
indeed a touching event.

I served from Jan 30, 1948 to Jul 31, 1968, retiring in the grade of 
Captain from the USAF.

I was a Corporal at Johnson AB, Japan when the Korean War, began, I
volunteered for Korean service on Jun 27, 1950, shipped out to 8th 
Ftr-Bmr Wing at Itazuke on Jun 29, and arrived with Detachment 1, 
36th Ftr-Bmr Squadron (Called BOUT ONE) in Teagu Korea on Jul 2, 1950.

I served as a radar operator, when we could find a radar that worked.  
When many of my former unit (620th AC&W Sq from Johnson) arrived for
a new unit being formed, I moved to the school grounds in Teagu where the
6132nd Tactical Control Group was located.  I asked for and got a transfer
to the unit on Aug 8, 1950.  

We evacuated Teagu by rail to Pusan and located on a hill near the
harbor.  When Fifth Air Force announced that members of BOUT ONE were
eligible to return to Japan, I left and returned to Johnson AB until my
rotation to the states in September 1951.

I received a promotion to Sergeant on Aug 12, 1950, after only being a
member of the 6132d for four days.
