Anyone remember Capt/Lt. Frank M Ward?

Comments: We are looking for info for our family tree about Frank M. Ward of Columbus, Ohio. His last assignment was with the 45th Recon Squad. It ended with his being shot down over enemy territory. He was shot down near Kaesong. He was severely injured but rescued and airlifted to Japan. When he recovered, he was sent to Shaw Field in South Carolina. We suspect he may have been in another unit prior. We have info that he 'made a daring attack on the retreating enemy' and won the Distuinguished Flying Cross, with Oak Leaf Clusters. Like others, his records were lost in the fire and he is now deceased. Please contact me if you knew him. Thanks!

My Grandfather Herbert Henry Hayton

Comments: I have started a family tree/history project, I am looking to gain more stories and information from when my grandfather served in the USAF. I know that he had a temporary assignment at Hamilton AFB in route to Elmendorf AFB, the time span is approx 1949-1950. When he was stationed at Elmendorf, he kept his assignment as part of "MATS". He was involved in the transportation of troops and supplies to the Korean War, and he was promoted to Corporal. The story gets a little bit weird, there was an incident that had occurred to my grandfather and the men that he served with, he does not like to talk about this, and from what I have gathered from other family members, there was a plane crash, and he was the only surviving member on the plane. After this incident he spent one year inbetween two hospitals in the US- the 183rd General Hospital at Fort Richardson, Anchorage Alaska and Valley Forge General Hospital, Phoenixville Pennsylvania. After he was released from the hospitals he was sent to Fort Slocum, New Rochelle, New York, it was here that he had to await his next assignment. At some point in 1951, my grandfather was assigned to the 1st Air Force 52nd Fighter Wing 568th Air Base Group at McGuire AFB, New Jersey. He worked as a Postal Clerk and was promoted to Sgt and made NCO. After his 4 years (total time) he was honorably discharged. He re-enlisted 3 months later back into the USAF and was stationed at Sampson AFB, Geneva New York, his assignment was to train Basic's (new airmen). In July of 1953, he married my grandmother, then the new regulation came out which allowed him to be honorably discharged, giving him a total of 5 1/2 years proudly serving in the USAF. My grandfather's name is Herbert Henry Hayton, he joined the service is February of 1948, he hailed from Rochester, New York. If anyone remembers him, served with him, took care of him at the hospitals or whatever, I would appreciate it if you could contact me and tell me about my grandfather. He is still alive and doing very well, but the memories still haunt him and he doesn't like to talk about it, so I will take whatever help that I can get. Thanks for protecting the American dream, and the American people, and thank you for helping me to complete my family history.

LOOKING FOR INFORMATION

Comments: My step-father served in the US Air Force during the Korean War. He told me that he was involved in photo intelligence. He did not go into detail. He is now deceased, and I am looking for information from anyone who may have also been involved in photo intelligence during the Korean War.

The only other tidbit I am aware of is that he was present at Queen Elizabeth's coronation and gave me pictures of it.

Any information would be helpful.

Thank you!

RAF pilot flying F84's with USAF in Korea

Comments: I am looking for any information about an RAF Pilot Flt.Lte. W.T.L. Rigby RAF. He was usually known as Les Rigby. Both Les and his wife are now deceased, but his daughter has a letter from his wife saying that he flew F84's with the USAF in Korea in 1953.

I know that a few RAF pilots flew with the USAF but information is hard to find. He flew Spitfires in Burma during WWII, then Korea (I have his Korea medal) and then spent quite a few years flying with the Hong Kong Auxiliary Air Force after converting to helicopters.

If anybody has any information at all I would be pleased to hear from you.
