In an era before precision-guided bombs, 6147 Tactical Control Group, 'The Mosquitos', of the 5th Air Force flew dangerous, low-level forward air control missions during the Korean War guiding UN fighter-bomber attacks on enemy targets. Although a unit of the United States Air Force, members of UN forces, including Canada and Australia, saw service with the unit flying in the rear seat of the T6 Texan as airborne controllers.  Ground fire was a constant danger for the 'Mosquitos' as they often got down on the deck to accurately mark targets for fighter-bombers such as F4U Navy Corsairs.
