| | US Air Force Air Sea Rescue in Saudi Arabia 1950-1951 |
 | | Today, Dhahran is quite a modern Arabian center with a first class airfield, but in 1950-1951 it was a small, almost Beau Gueste outpost, with Quonset huts and tents, a few stone buildings and a couple of runways instead of a legionnaire fortress. |
 | | Saudi Arabia, in 1950, was a nation ruled by an absolute monarch, King Ibn Saud. |
 | | Today Dhahran, Saudi Arabia is a large modern complex, but in 1950-1951 it was a truly remote assignment area and duty with Flight “D”, 7th Air Rescue Squadron, was n experience never to be forgotten. |
