HISTORICAL ~ORT (Narrative)
FIGHTER SQ,U.AD.dON ONE HUND.tt.ElD NINETY TWO, commanded by Oommander Elwin A. p~~~ is part of Carrier Air Group NINET~~ which operated from the USB PRINOETON (OV-37) in the Sea of Japan, Korean waters from July through October and from Maffett Field, Oalifornia in Nov-ember and December. The aircraft assigned to this squadron were Flro-4 "Oorsairs" which carried 1000, 500, 250 and 100 pound general purpose bombs to North Korean targets. Other ordnance carried included 260 pound fragmentation bombs, incendiaries and rockets plus 2400 rounds of 50 caliber ammunition. The policy of smashing industrial areas, supply areas, power plants, and close air support miSsions were prosecuted along with the rail interdiction program formerly flown.
Throughout the combat period from July to November morale remained extremely high in spite of incres,sed work loads and more intensive ground fire. Pilots were volunteering for flights and complaining because of not being on the flight schedule daily for flight operations.
Operations ran smoothly and lossess were few considering the missions flo~m. Two (2) pilots were killed in action. Eoth pilots were hit while in their dive and crashed with the aircraft. Lieutenant (junior grade) Howard W. WESTE.i:!.V~T was killed near Puryong while on a industrial strike and Ensign Oonrad. L. NEVILLE was killed near Ohorwon while on a close air support mission. Two (2) pilots were wounded by ground fire but made successful landings at shore based air strips. Lieutenant Henry S. BAtQ30U.i:i. was wounded while on a close air support mission and landed at K-52 air strip. Lieutenant Eric G. SORLOER was bit while on a rail interdiction strike and landed at K-IB. Both pilots agreed that if pOSSible, it would have been better to return to the card er because of the superior medic8~ faci1i ti es. Although num-erous aircraft were hit by enemy flak, none were required to be ditched, and only one pilot, Lieutene~t Eric G. SCHLOER. was required to make an emergency landing. Lieutenant Eric G. SCHLOER, landed at Briscoe Field, Yodo Island; after receiving a direct 85MM burst.
Toward the and of the period MIG Fighters were seen almost daily. Only two pilots, .Lieutenant Oommander J. F. McGUIn and Ensign Richard D. SMITH encountered any air opposition. One pas~; was made on each pilot with no damage. The run made was poor and indicated a possibility of an une~perienced pilot.
On 12 October the squadron commenced intensive Pre-D Day assaults in preparation for the intended amphibious landing on the 15th, only to learn on D-Day that it was a practice operation.
During this period seven hundred and sixty-three (763) combat missions were flown. Fighter Squadron ONE HUNDltED NINETY TWO, being a fully night and instrument qualified squadron, continued to obtain specie~ permission to launch night hecklers with the night detachment. A high degree of success was obtained in the squadron's night program with over half the pilots in the squa~ron participating •
