Must be Spring, everything looks so green. The picture is shot towards the southeast.
12th Tactical Reconnaissance Squadron
When the day interdiction program reached its peak in the early part of 1952 the enemy began wholesale movements under the cover of darkness. It was the RB-26 "Blackbirds" of the 12th Tac Squadron which kept a close tab on these movements and activity. From photos supplied by the 12th, the UN Command has been able to see the enemy repairing his airstrips, electric plants, bridges and other installations at night. It is the 12th Squadron that has enabled the 67th to round out it’s 24 hour-a-day reconnaissance mission. |
