Flying Tiger to Air Commando is an enlisted man's story of over
twenty years of service to his country. From enlistment in the Army
Air Corps at age nineteen as a Private to his retirement at age 44
as a Master Sgt., his unusual tale will interest all aviation,
history, and gunnery buffs. At age twenty he volunteered for the
American Volunteer Group, hardly aware of China and its problems
with Japan, but was soon to find out as an armorer with Chennault's
famed Flying Tigers. When that elite group was broken up, he
returned to the States, soon to return to the CBI theater flying as
a B-25 gunner with his good friend from the Tigers, R.T. Smith, in
the First Air Commandos. The end of WWII was not the end of combat
for Sgt. Baisden, who saw service in the Korean War, both as an
armorer in the 80th Fighter-Bomber Squadron of the 8th
Fighter-Bomber Group, and as a gunner on B-29s in the 93rd Heavy
Bombardment Squadron, 19th Bomb Group. His last days in the Air
Force were flown as an in-flight refueling technician in KC-97s
with the 308th, 2nd, and 19th Air Refueling Squadrons. His
down-to-earth narrative is interesting and informative, and is
presented along with his own period
