Comments: Jimmy went to the 4th immediately in a call for pilots with Robbie Riesner and some others. I was in Kingston Jamaica flying a P-47 when Howell went down. I didn't know the facts until I read them here.

The day Major Williams was KIA Masterson and I were flying a misson to Anju. I knew and admired Clyde Voss as any Aggie class of '49 would a member of the class of '41. A good man and and good pilot. I read with interest the hollywood story "Mother" Rigsby put together. Why did I think he was the hero? Then I read the letter Col. Smith wrote to the Williams famly. That is exactly the way I remember it.

I have been doing some research on ancesters in the Civil War and began to wonder if my 8 grand children would be able to find my record in Korea. So I just checked and guess what? I couldn't find a track. That was a great time for me. I loved the training at Shaw. Shrekingost saved my butt one day by finding a port side tiptank shakle wouldn't stay locked. I had landed that plane the day before with a full tank on the left side and no tip on the right.

I thought Ed Stoltz and Ralph White , Jim Furholmen and Scattergood were some of the best I came across in the AF.

I was pleased to serve also as WPIO for both Chickering and Andrews. I would have loved to stay in recce work but some how mats got me and it went down hill from there.

I can fill some spots on Earl Guthrie's flying after he left the service. If anybody is interested. He became a really outstanding test pilot for GD. Even did some fine Recce work in a B-58 during the Cuban missile crisis. In this material he is shown as deceased. I went to his funeral.

I'd love to hear from anybody in the April to Nov, 1952 time block. Or anybody else.

Regards,

John E. Orr
