I just bought a great Korean war grouping with a very nice patched 55j14. VMO-6 saw a lot of action in Korea, a lot of pilots were killed doing rescue missions.
There is what the seller says about the pilot's service:
"His name was James Lewis Bixler and his home address was North Main Street in Kenton Ohio
His military experience was with the Marine Air Group Squadron 26.
He was listed as performing all of these tasks for the Squadron 26
Provost Marshal
Ordnance Officer
Maintenance and Utilities Officer
Building and Ground Officer
Fire Marshal
Personnel Officer
Squadron Adjutant
and Personal Affairs Officer
They listed him as a Fixed Wing pilot with 1210 hours
and also a Helicopter pilot with 461 hours.
Again all of this experience was listed with Marine Air Base Squadron 26"
I haven't received the grouping yet. If anyone has any extra information on VMO-6 or the pilot that would be greatly appreciated
