HELLO AND WELCOME to the cyberspace home of the
512th Fighter Interceptor Squadron Association!
The Association is a group of men who, 50-odd years ago, constituted a United States Air Force Fighter Interceptor
Squadron, the 512th FIS, during the period 1954-58. Our story may be of interest to you. This site is owned and operated
by the Association with all rights reserved. It is not affiliated with nor sanctioned by the United States Air Force or
any government agency.
Very often in the history of the
United States,
groups of our warriors have performed their missions in an exemplary manner. Our culture simply expects that. However,
sometimes even that value has been exceeded. Some groups have risen to the extraordinary, and their stories are rarely told.
In the following pages you will find in words and pictures the story from the inside out of how, over fifty years ago, one
group of American boys perceived their mission and destiny, then carried out their duties in a manner which delivered the
boys to the history books as men. Men among the men, and women, who represent the finest achievers this nation has ever
sent to war. This group of now old veterans is known as the 512th Fighter Interceptor Squadron Association.
We are proud of our story. It was our small contribution to the freedom much of the world enjoys today.
We have made a sincere effort to assure that you have a pleasant and informative experience on this site. However, the
project will be under perpetual construction, and we solicit your suggestions and donations for improving and maintaining it.
Send donations to Roy Winton. Suggestions to Bob Corkill.
