I have just stumbled on the IBDA website and found it very interesting. I clicked on the Birddog Combat Units page and found something surprising. The writer says there were no L-19 units in Korea. Upon my arrival in Japan in early 1953, I ferried a brand new L-19 from Yokohama (where it had been assembled) to Fukuoka, Japan and on to Inchon, Korea. From there I was assigned to the 3rd Infantry Division Aviation Company. This cetainly was an L-19 unit. We had at lease 15 L-19s along with several L-17 Navions. Each division in Korea had an Army Aviation Company with numerous L-19s. I remained with the 3rd Division flying both types until I was rotated to the states in mid 1954.
