HERMAN (SAM) SNEAD wrote on October 13, 2000 CITY AND STATE: LUTZ FL UNIT: HQ, 511TH, DET 29, WAKKANAI(USAFSS) SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: - Comments: I was assigned to Det 29 (Okushiru-shima, Hokkaido, Japan) 1954. Trying to gather photos and information about all units under the 511th AC and W Group and Misawa Air Base. Have some from Det 45 and Det 18. My tour at Det 18 was with USAFSS in 59-60. One sad note is the fact that I traveled on that ferry that sunk between Hokadate and Aomori just a day or two earlier (I believe in Nov 54?). Hoping to hear from anyone that might remember me. Always worked in Admin or Personnel. Also, played on the Misawa Jets baseball team 1957. Appreciate any photos or info sent to me and will include on my HomePage with credits. I need both military and civilian shots, including Misawa, all detachments, Sapporo, Otaru, Chitose, Hakodate, Aomori, and any other in the area of Misawa and all of Hokkaido. Thanks and take care. Sam, Retired SMSgt, USAF. Keywords: Never in Korea, but missions were flown out of Misawa while I was there 52-53.
