Welcome! This site is a photo tribute to my uncle, a fighter pilot who
was listed as missing in action during the Korean War. He flew the F-86
Sabre with the 36th Fighter-Bomber Squadron at Suwon Air Base (K-13),
South Korea, in 1953.
The
pages, each with a brief introduction, will take you from his early
years growing up in a small farming town in California's Central Valley, to his final mission over North
Korea.
Jim was only twenty-three years old when he disappeared, but in
that short time he lived an exemplary life, which included being able to
fulfill a dream he had since childhood -- becoming a pilot.
He personified the typical
spirit of most young fighter pilots who served in Korea, which was faith
in God, love of country, and a dedication to excellence in performing his
duties. His service and sacrifice will always be remembered.
