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.)
