Ward Kent Dodge, b. March 14, 1929. Ward went to Kansas State College and was in the R.O.T.C. program. He entered pilot training as a student officer and was assigned to Pilot Training Class 52-F (Fox) where he graduated from Webb AFB, Texas on September 13, 1952 earning his silver wings. He was given the nickname "schoolboy" by his classmates at Webb. He, along with my uncle and others from Webb who got to fly fighters after graduating, were in what was called the "pipeline" to Korea and were sent to Nellis AFB for combat crew training. He was eventually sent to Suwon AB at Suwon, Korea, known as K-13 and assigned to the 8th Fighter-Bomber Wing in early 1953. After going through orientation training in the Replacement Training Unit (RTU) for new replacement pilots, He, along with my uncle and several others, were assigned to the 36th Fighter-Bomber Squadron, known as the "Flying Fiends" and got to fly new F-86F Sabres in the air-to-ground role although they were able to go after MiGs if the need came up. The 51st FIW across the base had the role of interceptor work, where the top ace of Korea, Joe McConnell, was stationed. The 36th FBS set a one-day sorties record on 15 June 1953 by getting 121 for that day. That record has yet to be broken. Unfortunately, my uncle was shot down by AA on 19 June 1953 while strafing trucks in North Korea and was listed as MIA, but others in the squadron continued their careers after the war including Dodge.
