Extract

Captain Paul Thornton was under investigation. In the spring of 1953, Thornton was the U.S. military advisor assigned to the South Korean 77th Transportation Army Aircraft Maintenance (TAAM) Company, a support element for South Korean Army aircraft. The 77th TAAM was stationed in Yangpyeong County, east of the war-torn capital of Seoul and approximately a four-hour drive from the front line. Thornton’s regular everyday duties involved advising the commanding officer and other personnel of the 77th TAAM on aircraft maintenance procedures. He supervised repairs and performed quality checks and tests on aircraft before they returned to the battlefield. It was a role that reflected the prerogatives of military aid that simply delivering weapons to U.S. allies was not sufficient. Materiel instead needed to be intertwined with spreading industrial knowledge and mechanical expertise. Like most U.S. advisors in the Korean War, Captain Thornton was the lynchpin between his assigned unit and the U.S. military. For his Republic of Korea (ROK) Army counterparts, the unit he was assigned to, and the Korean civilians employed by their corner of the base, Thornton was also the primary face of the U.S. military effort. Still, for a support unit in the waning months of the war before the signing of the armistice, everyday duties could generally be uncomplicated, even routine.
