Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star

  • Gerry Asher said:
    This aircraft served with at least three different units - the 18th, 49th and 8th Fighter Bomber Groups. Is there any caption information on the back of this photo? It looks like it may have been taken during its time with the 49th...
  • SDASM Archives said:
    Gerry Asher The only thing on the back is "Official Air Force Photo M.A.B" Mather Air Force Base?
  • Gerry Asher said:
    It would have to be "AFB" for Mather - or March - or McClellan. This is most likely Misawa AB, Japan - 49th Fighter Bomber Wing, just prior to the outbreak of the Korean War. Thanks!
