Muroc AAB is now Edward's correct?

Several of 330th crews went stateside to be trained as 'Lead' crews for bombing missions.

Pretty much, originally named Corum after the founders but changed by reversing the letters when the Post Office said there was already a Corum in California and told them to find another name.

It's been some 60 years since I, along with 5 other enlisted airmen, were at the Koon-ni Range about 35 from K-55, Osan. It was a remote and primitive location as we had a quonset hut, outhouse and a shed. It was the very early stages of the Range which would go on for some 50 years. During my stay it was primarily F-86's during the day and occasionally F-4's doing night bombing with a lamplighter. 6 10x10 targets for strafing, 1 10x20 for skip bombing, a circle on land for small bombing with smoke and an island in the sea for the large bombing up to 1,000 pounds. Here are a few of my photos taken at that time.
