Bob Davis was in the USAF in  the Rhein-Main 60th Air Base Group in Germany in the early '50's. His first crash base was Norton Field near San Bernardino California.

Bob Davis's AF Stations in Europe:

18 mos. in Rhein-Main at the 60th Air Base Group

and

the 616th AC+W ( Aircraft Control and Warning) in Ulm, Germany for 18 mos making payroll runs of cash to radio relay sites of US soldiers from Vienna to Bremerhaven.American folding money was paid to the Airmen, since they lived on the German economy and the Germans accepted American currency. the commander in Ulm was Col. Green.

In 1953, he aided the Dutch in the big flood:

February - Floods in Netherlands. ARS aircrews fly 198 sorties in SA-16s, H-19s, C-47s, and C-82s, evacuating 161 persons and delivering 32,900 lbs. of relief supplies
