Det. D, attached 629th AC&W Squadron Aviano Italy
56 - 58
Hamilton NJ
I was at Aviano AFB with ASA Det. D, attached to the 629th AC&W Squadron of the U.S. Air Force. We were the only army guys on the base and the fly guys hated us because we lived off base per diem in a house in Aviano. Did my Det D Aviano morph into the 75th ASA Company? I note your site has a guy I served with. Curt Malone and another guy whose last name I can't recall but he was known as Hooby or Hubey. I was not a DF op, but an 058.2 Morse intercept op. Names I recall: Lloyd Hodgkins, Carl O'Hair, Jim Herndon, Dave Smith, Sam Steckbeck (DF), last name, Blasingame, last name WIlkes. I was transferred from Bad Aibling to Aviano in 1956. We operated out of shacks that fit on the back of a deuce and a half, and were lunloaded from the truck and placed out on the side of the airfield. Sgt. Fath was our first seargeant and Lieutenant Bellamy our C.O.
