As an Army Brat living at Camp Hakata, Japan 1949-51, I would watch the F-80 jets fully loaded w fuel & ammo struggling to gain altitude as they passed over our home. Then they would be out over the Tsushima Straits, commuting to war. Our home was in line w/ 1 of the runways at Itazuke. Not all of them would make it "home" to Itazuke. God bless those airmen & their families. Semoer Fi
