Dale, Theodore Roosevelt "Ted" . . .
12 March  1918 - 9 September 2011
Colonel US Air Force; World War II, Korea, Vietnam
Ted graduated in 1941 with a degree in education from Ohio State University and received a US Army Reserve commission as a second lieutenant in field artillery.
World War II: Ted enlisted in U.S. Army on 1 July 1941 near the beginning of American involvement in World War II and served for two years in the European Theatre. In 1943 he transferred to the Army Air Corps and trained as a pilot on the B-17E bomber. He was assigned to a bomber wing in England, flying three bombing missions before the war ended. His next assignment was to the Army of Occupation as squadron commander at the US Air Base in Erlangen, Germany. In 1948, after Stalin instituted the Berlin Blockade, Ted flew the C-47 Skytrain ("Gooneybird") "24/7" during the Berlin Airlift supplying food and supplies to the now stranded West Germans.
Korea: From 1951-1953, Ted was assigned to Joint Task Force-3 to document the Atomic Bomb Tests in the Eniwetok Atoll (Marshall Islands) in the Pacific Ocean. The documents were only recently declassified as top secret.
B-26 and F-84 Platforms: Following six months of training at the Air Command and Staff School in Alabama Maj. Dale was ordered to Osan Air Base in South Korea in July of 1953, assigned to the Fifth Air Force flying the B-26 Night Intruder, a twin engine bomber. Among Col. Dale's most dangerous missions was the flying of 'time and distance' nighttime, low-level bombing and strafing missions. It was during his Korean War service that Col. Dale learned to fly the F-84 fighter jet.
Korean Armistice Commission (1954-55): During the Military Armistice Commission hearings, Col. Dale was assigned as chief administrator for all commission meetings. His base camp was in the 'Apple Orchard,' 20 miles from Panmunjom. The meetings were attended by the Chinese, North and South Koreans and representatives including US Air Force, Navy and Army translators and stenographers reported to Col Dale. He was responsible for transmitting minutes of the meetings, about 40 pages each night to the office of the president.
During the hearings, Col. Dale traveled 20 miles in winter weather by Willis jeep from base housing to the meetings. By the time he returned to base at night, Ted shared with friends that all of the food was gone. "I lost 15 pounds and the road we traveled was a narrow dirt road, rutted and filled with potholes. On the way we used a shotgun to shoot pheasants. We accumulated 11 with plans to have a feast, but when we asked the cook to prepare them we learned that they had been fed to a group of dignitaries from the U.S."
Strategic Air Command 1954-1965: He was assigned to the Strategic Air Command, as wing commander and was stationed in the US to fly the new B47 Stratojet throughout the Cold War for 11 years.
1965-1968: One of Col. Dale's most demanding assignments was as deputy director of programs for U.S. Air Force in Europe for three years.
LRAFB 1968- 1970: Ted's Air Force career culminated with his service as base commander of the Little Rock Air Force Base, Jacksonville, Arkansas, retiring on 1 August 1970. Col Dale flew the KC-135 tanker and in March of 1970, the headquarters of the 64th Tactical Airlift Wing arrived and took over duties as the base's host unit. Along with the 64th came the 4442nd Combat Crew Training Wing. Colonel Dale supervised the arrival and implementation of the now famous C-130 Hercules, a small, agile transport plane, which continues to serve the needs of the U.S. military around the world.
After 30 years in the Air Force, he became a real estate broker retiring in 1982. (Biography by his wife, Dolores "Dee" Brazil Dale.)
