He was in Korea w/ the 80th Fighter Bomber Squadron
and flew F-80's and F-86's. Any information would be
great as the his military records were destroyed in a
fire in 1973.

Thank you in advance,

Paul F. Ray

Comments: I just viewed the website with a posting requesting information related to my father Zack T. Nicholas posted by Robbie Lucas. I am Zack's daughter, Katherine. Your father gave me a baby pig to sleep with, I believe. My mother often tells the story, so it is fitting that I find this on my birthday. My father is no longer living, but my mother is. I don't know if your father knew Clinton Curtis, but he served at the same time and we are in constant contact with him. Mother would love to speak with your parents if they are still living. Feel free to contact me! Katherine.

Comments: I'm trying to locate Zachary T. Nicholas. He was stationed with my dad in Amarillo and went to Korea and served in the 80th Fighter Bomber Wing. I believe they were both mechanics. He was the best man for my parents, and my dad is wanting to get in touch with him. After they returned my dad went to Alabama and I believe Zachary went to Georgia. My dad's name is Jack (or Jackie) Dowd. Thank you for any information.

Comments: I am writing a book about the Autumn, 1952 hill battles in the Iron Triangle. My father was a rifle platoon leader in the 31st Infantry Regiment and fought in the battle of Triangle Hill from October 14 to 16, 1952. I am interested in speaking with members of the 80th FB Squadron who recall flying on missions to this area and during the October/November 1952 timeframe. Maj. Charles Loring of the Squadron was killed in action in late November, 1952 during a bombing mission and was later awarded the Medal of Honor. I have interviewed over 100 veterans of the battle to date and have been working on this book for over 4 years. I have a publisher lined up and hope to get the book finished this year. I want to make sure that I do a good job integrating in to the story accounts of the air strikes on these hills and close air support of the infantry in these battles and would appreciate hearing from you. Thanks very much and God Bless. Kevin Quinn
