Currently, I am writing a hard bound/coffee table type book entitled "U.S. Naval Aviation in the Korean War". It will contain unit histories/ personal comments from squadron members and lots of color slides / photographs of the aircraft. If anyone in VF-111 might have something that would help, please contact me. Warren Thompson Keywords: VF-111 in the Korean War

JOE BRENNAN wrote on December 18, 2002 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: INTERESTED PERSON Comments: I am trying to gather information about the air combat operations of USN squadrons in Korea. In case of VF-111 I am especially interested in encounters with MiG’s during the November 1950 strikes on the Yalu bridges. VF-111’s historic MiG kill 9 November is pretty well documented, but I am also interested in any other sightings or encounters in November 1950, by any sdn in Philippine Sea/CVG-11 at that time. Any info, first hand or not, would be helpful. Keywords: units, aircraft

I have a long time argument going on with a fellow sailor, that needs to be settled.. He and I were both HU-1 aircrewmen that only knew enough about jets - to stay off the Phil Sea's flight deck when they landed. Doug Froling, Seattle Keywords: F9F Panther jet
