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.
Ward was was also in the
Vietnam war where he lost his life.
Ward was the son of Ray Gilbert Dodge and Nora Helen Thon
