Looking For a Picture of Duane Tollerud

Comments: Duane Tollerud was in the 606th from approx. April of 1952 to April of 1953. He worked in the FM vans. His pride and joy was the handlebar mustache that he started to grow the day he arrived and was still sporting it when he left. He was a full blooded Norwegian from MN and told you about it soon after you met him. Duane passed on in 1993 in Punta Gorda Florida. His daughter contacted me thru this site looking for pictures but I had a lot of my old pictures destroyed that were in a box in the garage and we had a flood in the 1980's. I would appreciate any help I can get on this, this young girl loved her dad a lot and still misses him. I know a lot of you have pictures laying around in drawers. Send me any pictures you have of guys with a handlebar mustache. I will recognize Duane and forward the pictures to his daughter. Thanks

GREEK C-47 ACCIDENT AT PAENGYONG-DO (K-53)

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&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&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 !

Thank you for your time reading all the aboove,

you all have my respect,

Themis Vranas

On Top of Old Smokey

Comments: I'm ashamed to say it took my grandson to find this site. I wish I'd found it years ago. I was at the 606th from April 1952-April 1953. I thought I'd better put a notice in here because he spelled a few names wrong. Like Duane Tollerud the Swede from MN,( remember the handlebar mustache?) and Dick Jensen the Norski from WA constantly at each other. Bill Perry taught us all how to say (Loellville. We were all housed in the first squad tent on the right, past the first Quonset hut over the hill from the mess hall, and oh yes, almost forgot, around the bend from the NCO club. Some of these guys worked in the HF vans, the rest of us were in FM. If any of you guys are still kicking give me a ring on the e-mail.
