Korean War Pictures - Airmen Playing Baseball

FIFTH AIR FORCE, KOREA -- As F-84 "Thunderjets" of the 49th Fighter Bomber Wing in Korea prepare to take off on an interdiction mission against enemy installations, A/2C Jerome O. Etman, at bat, of 203 W. Franklin St., Baltimore, Md., and A/2C Charles F. Hyson, Jr., 2631 Kirk Ave., Baltimore, Md., take part in one of America's most popular sports--baseball. Even though these airmen sometimes work around the clock, arming aircraft with bombs, napalm, and deadly rockets, they find time between missions for recreation. Their unit has logged more than 37,000 combat sorties during a period of two years. (circa July 1952)
