Narrative:
Boeing B-29A-65-BN Superfortress 44-62207: Named ‘To Each His Own’. Assigned to 344th Bomb Squadron, 98th Bomb Group, Spokane AFB, Washington.

Diverted to USAAF Base K-2 due to poor weather conditions at Yokota Air Base, Japan. Landed in error on runway under construction. Substantial damage sustained to aircraft but no injuries to crew. The accident took place at Daegu, South Korea on June 9, 1952. Crew members included (incomplete listing):

Roche, 2nd Lt. John D.
Sputler, 1st Lt. Ernest C. Jr. (Airplane Commander)

Plus ten others (names not yet located). No injuries reported among the crew of 44-62207. Note that the photo below - which shows the crew names of the aircraft painted on the nose, next to the "nose art"- was taken two years earlier (in 1950) when 44-62207 had a completely different crew (none of whom were involved in the above incident)
