13th BS in Korean war

[bebel]

Here's a little grouping from Captain James T. Beck. After his pilot formation after ww2 and about 100 flying hours in jet at Luke AFB, he joined the 13th Bomb Squadron at K-8 Kunsan in 1952. After 50 missions, he come back to USA.

The red party shirt and the cap were made in Japan from december, 1951 when the squadron CO had this idea to help with the unit morale and esprit de corps.

It's bad that this one had been faded in wash machine.

Hi Franck,
That is a lovely group you have there. Always nice to get a flight log, an invaluable source of information. That shirt has faded quite a lot compared to how it look originally, must have been well loved. Glad its found another good home.


All the best
