Comments: I am trying to gather information about the air combat operations of USN squadrons in Korea. In case of VA-702 I am especially interested in any information on encounters with MiGs by various CVG-101/Kearsarge squadrons in early Oct 1952. Any info, first hand or not, would be helpful.

Comments: Looking for any members of Reserve Squadron VA-702 that was called to active duty July, 1950. There is going to be 2 reunions, one with VA-145 in Charleston, S.C., Sept. 6, 2000. The next reunion will be with the Aircraft Carrier Boxer Veterans Association to be held in New Braunsfeld, TX in April 200l. VA-702 members had our first get-together with the Boxer Veterans Assn. this past March. We had approximately 15 shipmates at this meeting. We hope to increase that if we can just find our shipmates. Please contact me at the above addresses. John Fisher

Are you familiar with Attack Squadron 145 "The Swordsmen" ?
(sometimes also refer to themselves as Attack Squadron 702).
My dad was deployed on the USS Boxer (CV-21), sailing February 8, l952
operating with TF 77 supporting the ground troops.
The Swordsmen website has an insignia. Are you familiar with this
squadron and website?
I know through my mom that my dad's squadran was VA-65 and while in
Korea was part of a Night Attack Squadron. This is how he earned hi
Distinguished Flying Cross for completing his mission with a
"wounded" plane and taking the opportunity to do unexpected damage to
the enemy on his return the carrier.
