>>My Dad, John Krutsch, from Michigan, was a MSgt in the 1304 Base Unit AAF during WWII and I remember vaguely that he had quite a few brass utensils and the like that he got from India?? I know he was connected with the 1304 because his grave marker has that unit engraved on it. He died in 1965 when I was 17 years old so there is not much I know about his service. I believe he flew in C46 Commando's but I am not sure. He had a pilot's license but I am also not sure if he was one of the enlisted pilots as well.

Does anyone have any additional details about the unit, people, aircraft, mission, etc.?? Any details would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!!!

Ken Krutsch SMSgt USAF Ret.
