Comments: Hi, I'm doing some genealogical research on a US Navy airman whose military records indicate that his "specialty code" was #0021.

I've searched all over the Net and cannot find a list of specialty codes from this era.

Does anyone know what was the job description for specialty code #0021 during the Korean War era?

Thanks!

The first time he was shot down was April 30, 1951, then four days later the same rescue unit picked him up again. Have often woundered if the Marine made it through the war.

I am searching for information regarding Captain Vincent J. Marzello, 
U.S.M.C., last name is sometimes spelled Marzelo. Marine Corp fighter

The only information I have is that he flew 103 Missions over Korea in 
F- 9F Fighters from 1950-52, and was involved in fighting around the 
Yaloo River.  He was also an exchange pilot with the 5Th Air Force 
flying Saber Jets.  During WWII, he flew in the Pacific and folowing 
WWII he was a flight instructor, in Florida and at El Toro in 
California. 

Following Korea, he was a test pilot, and was killed while testing 
equipment in September, 1954.  He is buried in Arlington National
Cemetary. Thanks again.  If this does not work, please let me know, 
and I will see what else I can track down.
