HENRY BROER wrote on June 1, 2009 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: AIR FORCE VETERAN Comments: Keywords: I served at Johnson from 8/1953 for 2 years as a radar maintenance airman for Tokyo Radar located on the other side of the runway. We were responsible for air traffic control for military and civilian aircraft arriving at Oshima island and being directed to various fields in the Tokyo area. T/Sgt Meskill was the NCO in charge. I have lots of good memories of the duty there, esp opportunities to visit Tokyo and other places. It was a good time to be there as the military still ran many facilities including those in the city...e.g. the Ernie Pyle movie theater.
