Harry writes in an email(s) to Mike Perry dated 21 Nov. 2011:

"Michael,
 

" I was in the 36th FBS from April 1952 thru December '52. Flew 100 missions in the F-80C. So I left

Suwon just before your uncle arrived. I have attached a copy of a picture of four of the 36th  aircraft

taken up over North Korea. Perhaps you already have the picture, but if not I'll get a better copy and

forward it to you. Glad to see there is still someone interested in what we did in those days."

 

"My aircraft, which I am flying in the picture was 547 (Evil Eye Fleagle of Al Capp's Li'l Abner fame).

The others in the formation were Pete Carpenter in the lead, Ed Gardner #2, I was leading the

element, #3, and Glenn Ciafio #4. We never understood how the photographer was able to get

us all lined up because it was an extremely rough day. Guess he just caught us passing through

the positions."
