This site is dedicated to the pilots of the 36th Fighter-Bomber
Squadron, and to those of the entire 8th Fighter-Bomber Group, who
without fanfare, relentlessly pounded the enemy positions from the air
on a continual basis during the Korean War.
Because of the inherent dangers involved with this type of work,
many pilots in fighter-bomber squadrons never came home. One of these
pilots was my uncle, 2nd Lt. Jimmy L. Escalle. He flew the F-86F Sabre with the
36th FBS in 1953.
By clicking on the different
pages, you will learn about the squadron's history, as well as seeing
some photos from my uncle's collection, and several more photos from other pilots in
the squadron. You will also get to read some of their stories and learn
about the aircraft they flew during this period of time. I hope you
enjoy your tour at K-13 and will come back often.
