DOUGLAS FANT wrote on January 12, 2004 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: I have a picture- on the back it says "Col. R.T. Black, C.O. 9th Bomber Squadron". It is a black and white picture that my Dad took circa 1950-1951 of Col. Black. He is in the jump seat of a B-36. My Dad flew either as a Tech Rep or navigator on B-36's out of Ladd AFB in Alaska, and also out of Carswell AFB in Ft. Worth. Col. Black's gear in the picture looks to be warm weather. So the picture may have been taken in Texas. I also have a goodly number of pictures of personnel who flew on B-36's out of Ladd circa 1950-1951, no names indicated on the color slides. My dad passed on in 1981, so I cannot identify the personnel in the pictures. Anyone out there who can help? Keywords: 9th Bomber Squadron

JOE BRENNAN wrote on June 10, 2003 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: INTERESTED PERSON Comments: I am researching air combat in the Korean War by non-F-86 units. I am looking for information, first hand and otherwise on F-80 units’ air combat with MiG’s, especially in the period November 1950 thru mid 1951. A few of these encounters are well known and written about in published US works but most are not, sometimes they are only barely mentioned at all in available US records. But some had surprising results from the Soviet perspective that I believe would make them very interesting if described in detail from both sides, so this is what I am trying to do. Any info relevant to this is most welcome. Keywords: units, aircraft
