    PRESERVATION COPY D. C. kissell, M.D. 1539 LINCOLN AVENUE PITTSBURGH 6, EMERSON 1-0894 October 14, 1970 Mr. Alexander Butterfield White House Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. Butterfield: Below is a list of the men in the "Scat Detachment" Marine Air Group - 25, taken in December 1943, when we were under the command of lt. "Pete" Jones (USN). I believe some of these men were rotated before President Nixon assumed command of the de- tachment; namely, Lt. Wollcott whom 1 relieved and Ens. Hollis Dole. In my recollection the organization was larger when President Nixon was in comman because we had a radio officer and several radio technicians added to the group. If you would like to see the picture, 1 will send it to you. Sgt. John Morrow Ens. Hollis Dole Ch. PhM Reynolds Stf. Sgt. "Tex" Massengill Sgt. Yezzi Sgt. Cohn Lt. Dupree Lt. "Pete" Jones USN Sgt.

BIGGANE 2 NIEMAN DRIVE ORCHARD PARK, NEW YORK 14127 November 25, 1970 Mr. Alex Butterfield Deputy Asst. to the President White House Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. Butterfield: I enclose for your information our latest issue of the TONTOOTER. This is identical to the format used in the Marine Air Group-25 publication in the South Pacific during World War II. We revived it about 16 years ago and send one out about twice a year. Here are three additional names of former SCAT personnel who, I believe, served with Mr. Nixon: Maj. Gen. Art H. Adams Frank Collins FMF PAC % FPO Bar Harbour, Maine San Francisco Joe Wile 204 Barrow Rd. Lexington, Ky. Sincerely, Sob Biggane Robert J. Biggane P.S. For what it's worth, I am sure that the President's ex- SCAT associates heartily applaud his handling of the Viet Nam situation both long range and recent efforts.

Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum But all the time was not devoted to frivolity. Indeed, the greying veterans, in executive session assembled, found time to resolve a few burning issues. Not such peripheral non- sense as the Asian war, campus unrest, etc. (left to the VFW and American Legion) but such subjects of massive impact as, for ex- ample, where this affair will be held next year, whether such locale is within the borders of a wet or dry state and similarly vital issues. Three important decisions emerged by unani- mous agreement: (1) That the 1971 Reunion would be held in the neighborhood of Wash- ington, D.C. --site of one of our most suc- cessful ever -- and with the possibility of Two Texans, Bob McAdams (left) and Lawyer O. Newman exhorting the man himself, Richard M. Nixon, to drop by: (2) That in 1972, since it will be the 30th anniversary of the MAG's historic venture to the Pacific, an all out effort should be made to bring together all avail- able living members of our fold into one great nationwide reunion. But where? Well, how about where it all started, like maybe San Diego?--or Vegas? (3) Finally, it was agreed that in preparation for all this, we should publish a new and up-to-date Direct- ory of our far-flung membership. That's why we've enclosed the postcard so that you can send us the info for publication in that Directory. Without your help, it can't be done. So fill it out now while it's at hand. There are people out there who'll be looking for your name. Now, only the good Lord knows when, if ever, we'll publish another Directory. So we be- Jean Milauskas shows 'em how. Harry Wilber is beyond in white shirt seech you to send us the info now before you set it aside and forget it. And if you know the names and addresses of any other of our ex-MAG-25 associates, send them along too. It will cost no more for a good accurate Directory than it will for a "half-fast" one, right? This particular paragraph is being written by your old (and grizzled) editor on Oct. 14th enroute from Bflo. to San Diego. (Because of limited time available for this hobby, and mostly because of natural inertia, this pe- ARIN riodical is always written--you'll excuse the expression--in snatches). Plans have been made for Jeanne and myself to reunite with some of our southern Calif. brethern of So. Pac. days. Through the good offices and diligent efforts of Warren Richardson (152- Radio), we plan to have a mini-MAG-25 reunion in Long Beach on Satruday eve., October 24th. Staid ol' Marines: Seaborn, Hamilton and Biggane Reproduced at the Richard Nixon -2- Presidential Library and Museum If your editor (older and more grizzled) is still functioning on the following day, he'll be enroute from L.A. to Buffalo and will at- tempt to chronicle the details of that his- toric event for publication in this here now issue. Meanwhile, however, back to Aurora. There were too many hands aboard to give them all mention, but let the record show that in the absence of both Sgt. Ray Alexander and Mike Malone, Dave Hamilton won the bag race, i.e., he was completely bagged earliest. Malone, who once observed that he could get just as smashed in Laramie, Wyoming as at the Waldorf, nearly made it but was detained by a strike in the plumbing factory where he's VP Clark Dillon and Grand Marchers of Marketing. He claims valid pride in author- ing their slogan: "It May be a Lotta to You, But To Us It's a Living". Tiny Christian was living it up in N. Orleans & Mark Freeman, we heard, was on his way but some sidewinder stole his hoss from in front of the Long Branch. WELCOME MAG 25 Another of the long lost who showed was Vernon & SCAT Reeder, all the way from Bluegrass Country with a jug and a new set of teeth. Sam English and Conrad Fortuna (can't tell 'em apart) took up where they left off at Del Prado--they think Marv Hook never found his way outa the lounge there. Len Wester, who has a dog named Scat and a wife named Laverne, was a welcome sight after too many missed reunions. The Phil Olivers and 01' Pardner Leroy Seaborn of course were there--no more loyal a group could be imagined anywhere and like so many of y'all, it can be said we're grateful for the privilege of knowing such people all these years Task force about to take off (October 25th - headin' east) Ahead lie the darkening shadows of evening and the damp cold breezes of November and the long winter. Behind, the sun-washed hills of southern Calif. and the warmth of its inhabitants, always tough to leave. The Long Beach gathering was delight- ful, the company enjoyable and the Richardsons, our hosts, among the finest of all the fine people we've met. We shall be forever grate- ful for their hospitality and untiring efforts. Locale of the function was the Edgewater Hyatt Hotel. The reception and excellent dinner brought together some wonderful people we hadn't seen in years and some even since Tontouta. P.K. Smith and Ida came from Laguna, and Howard and Gerry Nielsen came from Delano--he with some memorable color slides of the islands during World War II days.

Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum MAG-25 MAG-25 was organized 7 June 1942 at Camp Kearney, San Diego and comprised HqSq-25 and VMJ-253. On 23 August its first echelon departed for the South Pacific via R4D and arrived at Ewa the following day. On 3 September the first plane of the group landed on Henderson Field. It was piloted by the Group Commander, Colonel Perry K. Smith, USMC, and carried Brigadier General Roy S. Geiger and two members of his staff. Two days later the arrival of an R4D piloted by Lieutenant Colonel Wyman F. Marshall, USMCR, and loaded with 3,000 pounds of cigarettes and candy for Guadalcanal's beleaguered marines inaugurated what was to grow into air- transport service for the entire Pacific Ocean Area. That plane also initiated large-scale evacuation of wounded by air when Colonel Marshall flew out the first air-evacuated casualties. Headquarters of the group was set up at Tontouta, New Caledonia, early in September 1942 and with the arrival of the rear echelon on the 22d construction of a camp on the Tontouta River was commenced. The rains came so frequently and copiously that the camp had to be moved to higher ground from time to time. VMJ-152 joined the group on 25 October and during that month the 13th Army Troop Carrier Squadron was also attached to MAG-25; with the increase of subordinate units within the group the need of a service squadron became apparent. Conse- Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum quently, on 18 November 1942 SMS-25 was commissioned. During the same month the Commanding General of the 1st MAW was ordered by ComAirSoPac to organize a composite transport group, to be called South Pacific Combat Air Transport Command, with the short title of SCAT. Thereupon, all units were consolidated and SCAT was born, to operate in the South Pacific until February 1945 when it was dissolved after more than three years of history-making achievement throughout the Pacific Islands. Although it became Solomons Combat Air Transport Command after the move to Bougainville, the short title of SCAT was continued until its dissolution. In every campaign from Guadalcanal to the Philippines and thence to Iwo Jima and Okinawa SCAT planes transported thousands of tons of heterogeneous cargo from boxes of Purple Hearts, aviation gasoline, spare parts and jeeps to VIPs, troops, casualties and stranded missionaries. In its first 18-months' operations nearly a quarter of a million passengers were flown, 1600 of whom were Guadalcanal wounded. Unarmed and unarmored its famous flying boxcars landed and took off, loaded and unloaded their cargos and passengers under enemy fire, and were not infrequently fired upon in the air by Japanese planes, yet none was ever hit or shot down. By April 1943 another unit joined SCAT when VMR-153 arrived at New Caledonia on the 19th. By June the Russell Islands had been added to the SCAT itinerary and the first transport carried mail and passengers there on 2 June. In July MAG-25 planes participated in the New Georgia operations when Marine Raiders were isolated near Bairoko Harbor and were resupplied Reproducedathe RichardNixon Rresfdential Libraryang Museum which came in at tree-top level. On one occasion, 19 July, they encountered AA but without casualty. The 8 July paradrop was the first one made by SCAT planes but was repeated many times throughout the Pacific. As late as July 1945 parapaks were dropped from transports to Australians isolated on the Mibo River in Bougainville. During the Munda phase of the New Georgia operations while landing on the newly conquered field 19 August, five shells dropped within 100 yards of a SCAT plane which was forced to take off unloaded. Two more Army troop-carrier squadrons, the 63d and 64th, were temporarily attached to SCAT during the Munda campaign. Headquarters and SCAT camp remained at Tontouta until July 1944 when Hq Sq-25 completed its move to Bougainville. In October part of the service squadron was transferred to Los Negros in the Admiralties which left only maintenance personnel at Noumea until cognizance of material was turned over to the Island Commander, after which the remainder of SMS-25 moved to Los Negros. There a camp site had already been established in a coconut grove 200 yards from Kokerang strip at Manus. By December 1944 SMS-25 personnel was deployed at four other points as well as the Admiralties: Bougainville, Guadaleanal, Philippines and Green. There is no continuity in statistical records of MAG-25, but the figures that do exist are impressive and were they complete would doubtless be astronomical. In one six-month period alone SCAT flew 24 millions of pounds of freight and mail and transported 130,000 passengers. From November 1942 through June 1944, 43,626,495 pounds of cargo and Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum 235,596 passengers were carried in 34,834 trips. Patients evacuated totaled 3,202 for four months in 1942, 24,685 for the entire year of 1943 and 14,575 for the first six months of 1944. In November 1944 3,378,620 pounds of freight and 11,955 passengers were transported by SCAT; the following month 4,355,144 pounds of cargo and 10,907 passengers were carried. Whole aircraft groups were moved in transports: MAG-14 was transported to Samar from Green by MAG-25 which flew 3,808,915 pounds of material and 11,121 passengers into Philippine bases alone in January 1945. The following May MAG-14 was moved to Okinawa by MAG-25. For the maintenance of such a vast aerial supply and passenger line great credit is due the ground echelons, which were often cut off from Headquarters and served in small contingents in primitive outposts. A detachment of 12 at Leyte left Los Negros in December 1944 to guard MAG-25 gear to be unloaded at Tanuan strip. Life was rugged and the one officer and 11 men on STAD found even necessities almost nonexistent. A discarded tent was their shelter, water had to be carried 6 miles and the food was both scarce and unpalatable. At first their camp was only 20 yards off the main road, then they found a small island near MAG-12's camp. But the charm of the island was soon dissipated when it was learned that the ships' garbage jettisoned into the bay floated onto their beach when the tide rose. 4 Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum Meanwhile the ship containing the gear they were to guard had arrived on 13 December but through lack of assist- ance it was five weeks before it could be unloaded and by then one-third their number had been evacuated because of serious infections, and all the rest had contracted dysentery. When 1t was finally unloaded the gear was badly broken and much of it was lost in transfer from ship to Army ducks. What was left was guarded by a remnant of the 12 SMS-25 personnel relieved by 40 MAG-25 people who repackaged and sorted what was salvageable. Finally by 7 April all but two of the original nucleus were returned to Manus. Toward the middle of January a complement of check crews, largely personnel from SMS-25, went to Samar to establish a camp where SCAT planes carrying supplies and personnel to the Philippines could be serviced. In three days the camp was erected with the help of the 5th Seabees. Rain, lack of equipment, no lack of insects, and other vexations of the area bedeviled them, despite which the check crews, in addition to building a camp at Guiuan strip, made 50 checks in their 40 days on Samar. By March 1945 MAG-25 planes commenced operations to Mindanao via Morotai; the first plane of the group to land at Zamboanga, our southernmost base in the Philippines, was piloted by the Executive Officer of the group, Colonel Warren E. Sweetser, Jr., the same day. During March, 6,456 passengers and 1,387,529 pounds of cargo were flown by MAG-25 planes. 5 Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum By May freight, passengers and mail were being flown to Davao in Cebu and the following month 7 planes of MAG-25 moved all of MAG-14 gear and much of its personnel from Samar to Okinawa in six days. Headquarters squadrons and VMR-152 and VMR-153 remained at Bougainville until war's end. Through much of July and August they dropped parapaks to isolated Australian troops on Bougainville. Only 6 planes were lost between October 1942 and May 1945. In two of those crashes there were no personnel casualties. The other planes lost took with them 13 crew members and 19 passengers. Despite the losses the safety record is incredible, considering the millions of miles flown in all kinds of weather, day and night, frequently under fire, and in hostile skies. After the surrender MAG-25 headquarters was moved from Bougainville to Tsientin, China. The first MAG-25 plane to land on Chinese territory was flown into Shanghai by Lieutenant Colonel J. G. Walsh, Jr., on 5 October 1945. All twelve planes of the Group's forward echelon left Shanghai on 7 October for Tienstin and began setting up a base there. Facilities were limited and the advance echelon moved into barracks evacuated only three days before their arrival by the Japanese. The campsite was adjacent to Chanweichang airstrip, about ten miles southeast of Tienstin and operations commenced at once with the inception of a daily mail run between Shanghai, Tienstin and Peiping to supply the Third 6 Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum Amphibious Corps which had landed in North China only a week before. Mercy hops to drop food and supplies to missionaries isolated by the Communists were also started about 10 October. On the twelfth the Group began the evacuation of American and Allied civilians from the Japanese internment camp at Weihsien, 180 miles south of Tienstin where they had been prisoners of the Japanese for nearly four years. Because of insufficient housing in the Tienstin area it was decided to move the Group to Tsingtao which not only provided more living space but also facilitated flights between Shanghai to the south and Peiping and Tienstin to the north because of its more central location. The move was completed in two days and operations from Tsankou airdrome, ten miles north of Tsingtao, began. By the end of October other echelons of the Group, at Bougavinlle and Manus, were en route to Tsingtao. In its first full month of operations from Tsingtao MAG-25 flew 105,171 ton miles, carried 102,783 pounds of Marine cargo, and 2,696 passengers. By the end of the November all the Group was concentrated at Tsankou field. Flights between Shanghai, Peiping, Tienstin, Iwo Jima, Guam and Okinawa were made. One was flown to Atsugi, 23 miles south of Tokyo, to carry Vice Admiral Daniel E. Barbey, USN, Commander of the Seventh Fleet to an important conference with General MacArthur. 7 Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum MAG-25 remained in China until June 1946 when the Group was returned to the States. The R4D's and R5C's of MAG-25 had been seen in the far-off skies of Inner Mongolia and Manchuria as well as in China, Japan, Okinawa, Iwo Jima, Guam and Hawaii. In the eight months it was based in China it flew 10,653 hours, carrying 1,774.282 pounds of freight and 22,685 passengers. The Group left Tsingtao on 6 June 1946 and on the eighteenth arrived at El Toro. In July VMR-252 joined MAG-25 but remained at MCAS, Miramar until 14 October 1946, then moved to the MCAS at K1 Toro. Between July and November 1946 MAG-25 transported personnel and supplies from Miramar to Dallas, Texas, Cherry Point, North Carolina, and to the Naval Air Station at Alameda. In November MAG-25 began conversion from twin-engine R5C Commandos to four-engine R5D's and by January 1947 had fifteen Skymasters. Trans-Pacific flights were inaugurated on 20 January when the first flight to Ewa was flown, trans- porting supplies and personnel to Hawaii and Guam. By March 2,066 passengers and 71 tons of supplies had been transported by the Skymasters to Guam and Honolulu. Another significant change took place on 31 May 1947. MAG-25 was decommissioned and its subordinate units were consolidated into one transport squadron, VMR-152 operating directly under MarAirWest. The consolidation did not affect the operations of the Group since the same number and same type of aircraft were assigned to VMR-152. By then two Guam flights left E1 Toro weekly. During April 1947 153,553 8 Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum pounds of cargo, 3,141,714 passenger miles and 1,183 passengers had been flown by MAG-25. In May the passenger miles and passengers flown were 4,009,355 and 1,468 respectively. MAG-25 (Provisional) was established on 1 February 1950 to improve the administrative and operational control of VMR-152 and VMR-352. It remained provisional until 31 May 1951 when it was disestablished. The following day it was commissioned at Marine Corps Air Station, El Toro as Marine Aircraft Group 25 under AirFMFPac and comprised Headquarters Squadron-25, Marine Transport Squadrons 352 and 152. Those squadrons were administratively attached to MAG-25 but had been under the operational control of Fleet LogisticsSupport Wings, Pacific, since July 1950. On 15 June 1950 another transport squadron, VMR-253, was commissioned and assigned to MAG-25. Since MAG-25 is largely adminis trative the operational phase of its history will be covered in the transport- squadron histories. As of March 1953 MAG-25 was based at El Toro and comprised the same units which were attached in June 1951. VMR-152 was based at Naval Air Station, Barber's Point, Oahu, T.H. operating R5D's and was shuttling between there and air bases in Japan. Its forward echelon continued regular trips from Itami to other bases in Japan and to airfields in Korea, in direct support of the 1st MAW and First Marine Division. VMR-352 continued to be based at 9 Reproduced at the Richard Nixon Presidential Library and Museum MCAS, E1 Toro and was transporting men and supplies in support of combatant troops in the Western Pacific area. Its third component, VMR-252, was also based at E1 Toro and was operating R4Q aircraft. Headquarters Squadron of MAG-25, at El Toro, continued to provide, control and coordinate administrative and logistical support for the Group Headquarters. In the period between 1 January and 31 March 1953 MAG-25 units, not including VMR-152, flew nearly seven and a half billions ton miles and 31,150,849 passenger and cargo miles. A total of 9,273.6 hours were flown during that three-month period; 46,077 passengers and 6,276,819 pounds of cargo were carried in addition to 2,061,507 pounds of mail and 2,405,245 pounds of baggage. In the period between 1 April 1953 and the deactivation date of 31 January 1956, MAG-25 units remained at MCAS, E1 Toro (Santa Ana), California and was engaged in routine training exercises to maintain its combat effectiveness.
