CHARLES HERRING wrote on January 3, 2012 CITY AND STATE: MURFREESBORO TN UNIT: 606 AC&W SQDN SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: AIR FORCE VETERAN Comments: Me and many other regular Air Force persons were blended into the just activated 606 AC&W Reserve Unit at Shaw AFB, SC directly upon our return from a year's tour in Alaska on June 25, 1950. The war started that day while we were still aboard ship. Our new Unit, the 606th, docked at Pusan, Korea in late September, 1950. We were mobile and basically followed the front lines. We were settled in on a hill near Anju in N. Korea 65 miles from the Yalu River in late November, 1950. The Peoples Chinese invaders drove us all back south right after Thanksgiving, our Unit winding up at Pusan again. In 1951 our RADARs were set up on a hill looking down on Kimpo Air Base near Seoul. When the peace talks started in 1951, the 606th let we Alaska regulars return home to Sewart AFB near Smyrna TN. That AC&W Unit went to Algiers; I didn't reinlist so was discharged. I joined the AF Reserves and became a Loadmaster on C-119's--my best days as an Airman.

THEMIS VRANAS wrote on April 9, 2005 CITY AND STATE: AGRINIO UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: INTERESTED PERSON Comments: My name is Themis Vranas and I am a teacher in the Hellenic Elementary School. I research the accident of C-47 s/n 49-2622 of 13th RHAF (Greek Air Force ) that occured on Sept. 17, 1951, at Paengyong-do island (K-53). During take-off, the right main wheel found soft ground and the plane went straight to the sea, with almost take-off speed. Fortunately, there were no fatalities or serious injuries, but the C-47 seemed doomed as it was floating into the sea with its cargo doors open. Two brave men of 606 AC and W Sqn, Det. 2, Cpl Walter W. Henricks , AF 16310913 and Pfc James J. Clark, AF 11192126 were at the beach, preparing to leave the island with an LST. They aided the crew come ashore and then volunteered to save the C-47 by fixing chains and cables at its tailwheel, a very risky job to sat the least. They were fighting for almost an hour in the cold waters and tide. Finally they made it, but Henricks was hurt by the tailwheel and rescued by Clark. No citation was ever given to these two heros by the USAF or HAF for that action. Thanks to Sgt (USAF) James Lorenz of 608 AC and W Sqn I contacted mr Henricks. Can anybody give me any info about James J. Clark then and/or now ? Is there any eyewitness of the above mentioned accident? Does anybody have any recollections of the Greek Flight in general or any photos of the Greek planes ? Just for the history, s/n 49-2622 is still proudly flying operationally with the Hellenic Air Force. It is one of only three operational military C-47 in Europe, not one military in USA ! Additionally, s/n 49-2622 is the sole military operational aircraft of any type in the whole world that fought in the Korean War and still serves the same Air Arm just like 55 years ago !

We both rotated to the States soon after the attack, about June 20th. We were both from New Jersey. Before this tour, he and I got to the States when the North Koreans invaded. We had just come back from a tour in Alaska -- one year isolation duty. It was the 632nd AC and W Squadron that was in Alaska. When the Korean War broke out, we were on a ship going to Seattle. In the following weeks, we were assigned to the 606th AC and W. He and I went on the advance party in August and 15 of us flew to Japan. After 3 days in Japan, we flew to South Korea. We also received from President Truman the good news of a one year extension on our enlistment, which qualified us for a Korean tour. We also went up to North Korea in November 1950 and we set up the radar site. As soon as we accomplished that the Chinese entered the war and we left everything on the hill and were ordered back to Pyongyang and Seoul where we stayed before we went further south.
