548th Reconnaissance Technical Squadron History Connections. I have recently been in contact with James Landrum and Ray Sestak who both have connections with the 548th mission and Yokota Air Base. Jim has special connections with the B-29 that was shot down on October 7, 1952 and Ray has created and maintains multiple web sites relating to the Korean War/ Cold War period.
