Comments: Hi, I was looking to put together a little memorial for our father. What little of he spoke about the Korena War is all I know. I know he was with the FOXY FEW and have several pictures of him in front of the planes and the barracks next to the sign. I know he was shot down and was sent to Hawaii in a full body cast. I was wondering if anybody remembers my father or might have some addition pictures that could be shared with me. My father was Robert G. Millington Jr., Air Force, and any info or pictures would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Jason Millington

Comments: I am looking for anyone who might have known my uncle, Ralph (Bud) Iverson he flew with the 12th Ftr. Bmr. Sq. between 1952-53. My grandfather, dad, brother, and myself receive mugs from Bud when he returned from Korea. My Uncle Bud was killed in a plane cash by Byron Airforce Base in Texas in October 1954 at age 25. He was an instructor at the base. I was 5 at the time and I have only a few memories of him. My dad died in 1997 and I really never felt comfortable talking to him about his younger brother because Bud's death was very hard on him. I would appreciate hearing about him from anyone who might have known him.

The orignal msg about Major Theron J. Graves is below so that unit
members and friends can recall his life.
From Col Biteman: On Wed, 29 Apr 1998
Major Theron Graves, former CO of 12th Ftr Sqdn in WWII, was most
appreciative of having people from cyberspace sending him 'get well'
greetings thanks to your notice in the 12th Sqdn section of your site.
Unfortunately, he did not survive ... I received word that he had passed
away quietly last week,

For former members of the 12th Fighter Sqd:
Today, 5 December 1997, I received an 18th Fighter Wing Assoc.
membership renewal from Mrs Rachel Graves, wife of MAJOR THERON J.
GRAVES, former Commander of the 12th Fighter Squadron. Theron flew P-38
combat missions in the early days of WWII (Dec '42 until Nov.'43),
hopping from war-torn Guadalcanal thru all of the many islands leading
northward to our victory in Japan. He has steadfastly supported the
12th Squadron over the years, even tho he was not able to fly with them
during the Korean War ... many of our Korean vets knew of him by his
reputation.
Mrs. Graves informs me that Major Graves has recently been diagnosed
with inoperable brain cancer, and the prognosis is not very promising.
She noted that he'd love to hear from his old 12th buddies, and from
those who served the 'Dirty Dozen' and the 'Foxy Few' in later years.
Whether you knew him personally or not ... please drop Theron a note or
a card, or call him at the number shown below.

I saw this some time ago, but just now got around to write. On the
List of Airfields in Korea I see listed K-38 as Wonju Airdrome and
K-46 listed as Hoensong Airdrome. In 1952 when I was there K-46 was Wonju.
I am wondering if the K numbers were switched by mistake or am I
wrong. I was there in 1952 and part of 53 with the 18th Fighter
Bomber Wing 12th FBsq. at K-46 Wonju. We used the F 51 Mustangs.
I would like to see more of the 18 FBW and 12th on the net if

Greetings, just read Bud's graphic and interesting remembrances of
Korean war days. I was a member of the Foxy Few for about eight
months in 1951. The squadron was commanded by a very sharp first
rate major by the name of William E. Bryan (retired M/G) ..later by
Major John W. Rees.
I flew 100 missions during that time period...some were pretty
exciting...to me. Attached is a brief recap of one mission, for

Sir
Just found this page and was very interested. I served in the 12th ftr
Bmr in 51 and 52 as a communication tech at most of the bases around the
country.
Thank you for you efforts to bring the Sqdn together again.
I will look around and I might have a old year book with the dogpatch
clubs and other items of interest. I still have the foxey few mugs we
were all given by the CO at some time during the tour.
I am no retired engineer and living in Fremont California.
