Supposed Korean War Deployment[edit]

The following was removed from History: During the early days of the Korean War, the group received B-29s from flyable storage and deployed from the United States to Yokota Air Base, Japan. Under control of the FEAF Bomber Command (Provisional) until January 1951, the 93d bombed factories, refineries, iron works, hydroelectric plants, airfields, bridges, tunnels, troop concentrations, barracks, marshalling yards, road junctions, rail lines, supply dumps, docks, vehicles and other strategic and interdiction targets.

And the following from Stations; (deployed to . . . Yokota Air Base, Japan, 15 July 1950 – 30 January 1951)

Neither of these statements is cited to a reliable sournce. Unit Histories in Maurer and Ravenstein do not show a deployment of the 93d Group, 93d Wing, or any of its operational squadrons to the Far East for the Korean War. Entries in Fletcher for Kadena and Yokota do not show th 93d or its units stationed at either base. Endicott's list of USAF units in Korea does not mention the 93d. No explanation is offered as to why a B-50 unit would convert to B-29s to deploy and then return to flying B-50s at the end of the deployment. The date the group supposedly deployed to Yokota coincides with the date the 92d Bombardment Group arrived there. --Lineagegeek (talk) 20:55, 18 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]
