Re: Bed Check Charlie



Was on Wolmi do in apr. 53 when "piss call charlie" came over at 200'
turned and went half mile southeast and blew up an army fuel dump in
Inchon. Was quite a show with drums bursting in air.
It was a biplane with a radial engine that had a miss. Pilot wore a fur
lined eared hat.
