Historical Note:
Born in Fairview, Oregon on July 15, 1919. Fred Ohr attended the College of Idaho prior to enlisting in the calvary in 1938. He transferred to the field artillery in 1940 and became an aviation cadet in November 1941. He received his wings and commission as a second lieutenant with Class 42-E at Luke Field, Arizona. Lieutenant Ohr went overseas with the 62nd Service Group but was assigned shortly after the 2nd Fighter Squadron, 52nd Fighter Group. Originally reverse lend-lease Spitfires in North Africa and Sicily, he scored his first victory in April of ‘43 when he shot down a Ju-88 North of Kairouan. Ohr waited over a year for his next chance. But after the 52nd transitioned into the P-51 airframes he was well on his way to becoming an ace. He was confirmed with 6 total kills during the war but had multiple encounters that probably proved fatal for his foes. In all he flew 241 missions and he ended his career as a major and commander of the 2nd Fighter Squadron. His list of decorations include the Silver Star with Oak Leaf Cluster, Distinguished Flying Cross with one OLC, Bronze Star and the Air Medal with 18 OLC’s. Freddie Ohr was probably the only Korean Ace known of WWII.
