He flew a Christen Eagle II and gave it to my son just before he passed away with pancreatic cancer. Chuck was like a grandad to my son. You couldn't seperate the two.

ANYONE KNOW LESLIE F. RICE JR USAF KOREA |
| LESLIE F. RICE III wrote on September 9, 2004 CITY AND STATE: GARDEN GROVE CA UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FRIEND OF VETERAN Comments: Looking for any info reguarding service of Air Force personel who served with my father in Korea and or at McGhee/Tyson, Tennessee 1951-53. Capt L.F. Rice jr retired with 25 years service, and passed on 28 Feb. 1992. His 2nd wife Betty, lives in Port Hueneme, Caifiornia. As my father was a career Air Corp/ Air Force man I rarely saw him as a kid. When "Les" returned from Korea we lived as a family in Alcoa Tenn, and as I got to know my Dad, I got bit by the airplane bug with the arrival of the F-86A. I spent many days on base looking on while Sabres were repaired and flew anywhere at anytime. This time with my dad were the best times we ever had. I loved listening to his Korean war buddies talks about the old (bad) times in Korea and flying B-17s In England. This is what started my 40 year aviation career. Besides writing an on-going book about my father, Sabres, Sabre developement, Korea, and the fantastic stories I grew up with, I have reciently found photographs of F-86As at McGhee Tyson with their distintive red lighting bolt and dragon in the crest of the scheme painted on the fuselage. I have sent copies of these photographs to DUNCAN CURTIS who has several books about Sabres in currently in print. I do not know when the next book of his will appear with our photographs. I am always looking for anyone who knew my father and may have any information or just want to say hello? To all you men who served our country in those horrible days of Korea, I want you to know many of us slept better at night knowing the sound of a Sabre flying up high at night was allowing us to enjoy the good life we all have, even today. We never forget. Thank You, each and every one of you, from potato peelers to pilots! God bless you all. Godspeed Leslie F. Rice III Keywords: Father in Korea 18th Bomb Ftr. Gp.
