Pechner > The OY observation aircraft that appears to be about to take off from the air strip at Hagaru-ri, and the OY in the air, are from Marine Observation Squadron 6 (VMO-6). Bill Brennen
Pechner > This is the wreckage of a Navy TBM torpedo bomber of WW II vintage, at the Hagaru-ri airstrip. It was borrowed by Marine Observation Squadron 6 ( VMO-6), and their pilots used it to resupply and evacuate wounded from the emergency air strips at Hagaru-ri and Koto-ri near the Chosin Reservoir N. Korea, before the strips were made long enough to accomodate the larger R4D and C-47 transport aircraft. I don't know the details of its demise. Bill Brennen, USMC, Hq. Sq. M.A.G. 33 1949-1951 billnm@sbcglobal.net
