p4 …in the USAF's twenty-eight F-100…
p8 Everest not in the cockpit (AF officers do not use T-shirts as outer garments!) and it might not be
Welch on the ladder either!
p37 63361 from DWM collection whom Joe Vincent obtained a copy from
p50 64003 not a -20, is a -15, a DWM oversight when proofing before final printing
p57 Julius Caesar was on 7 Aug 59, a real mistake by DWM when proofing
p58 Skyblazers: 36th flew F-84E, 86th flew F-84E, and 48th used F-84G one year, then F-86F
p63 Mike Bilcik is a retired CMSGT, not a MSGT
p85 The 613th left DaNang in late April 1965, relieved by the 615th who were there til mid June 1965.
Still another DWM mistake when proofing.
p153 F-107 did not have a clamshell canopy! It moved more like the F-84F one did.
p154 F-107 not moved to Sheppard AFB TX to be burned, was done at Norton AFB CA.
p158 The 21st TFW inactivated in June 1960 so the 416th and 531st answered directly
to the 39th Air Division (along with the 4th FIS w/F-102As and 45 TRS
w/ RF-101Cs) and were thus til the spring of 1964 when the two Hun units moved
to England AFB LA to join the brand new 3rd TFW. The "old" 3rd was a B-57
equipped unit at Yokota AB Japan til the spring of 1964. This was overlooked
from proofing.
No photo proof that any unit of the 8th FBW/TFW ever flew any model of the
F-84 but tons of shots of unit marked F-86Fs. Another DWM oversight.
p159 4403rd TFW was at England AFB LA. An overlooked correction.
p160 323rd was a FD Group, not a Wing (they were one of two groups under
the 450th FDW with the other group the 450th) Still another DWM oversight.
p156 NAVS listing has 55 and 56 models together, various block numbers
p170 USAF Museum F-100C was 54-1753 (a/c now in Birmingham AL museum) and
their F-100F is 56-3837.
