This was my Father's B-29 during the Korean War. He was crew chief and on the night of 10 June 1950, it was shot down and crashed into the sea. Anyone knowing someone that was in this outfit, please ask them to contact me as members of this bomber squadron have a web page.


Miss Jackie the Rebel 19th BG/30th BS: KORWALD notes that on 6/10/1952, “Jackie” was brought down by AAA near the railroad bridge at Kwakson North Korea -- the same night that "Hot to Go" was shot down. However, assembled evidence supports the contention that both B-29's were shot down by MiGs, and a third B-29, "Apache", was critically damaged, but made it to K-14 and never flew again. Loyd Keith, "Jackie’s" crew chief, supplied the following official Russian government report that reads: “On 10 June 1952 . . . Lt. Col. Studilin took off in a MiG-15 to intercept enemy bombers. … Studilin saw … a B-29 illuminated by searchlights … and executed four attacks . . . After two attacks, the engine on the left wing of the B-29 caught fire. The third and fourth attacks (without searchlights) were oriented on the flames from the burning engine… After the fourth attack… the engine on the right wing caught fire. Losing altitude and executing a left turn … the B-29 exploded and crashed into the sea".
