These are old photos from the Korean War. Myself as an airman with the 8th Fighter Bomber Wing at Itazuke Air Force Base in Japan. The second photo is Lt William G, Hudson of Selma, Alabama, left, an F82 pilot and his Radar Observer, Lt Carl S. Fraser of Tampa, Florida, stationed at Itazuke. They were the first to be fired upon the day the war broke out but did not return fire then. On June 27th they returned fire and shot down an IL-2 type North Korean aircraft. This was the first air kill of the Korean war.
