Attack Squadron 728 was an Organized Reserve Squadron based at Glenview, Illinois, until recall to active duty on Feb- ruary 1, 1952. Seven months of preparation for combat duty were climaxed when the squadron embarked aboard the An- tietam for duty in the Far East. VA-728 flew sorties from the carrier over a six-month period to chalk up 1700 cuts in enemy rail lines, destruction of 271 railroad cars and extensive damage or destruction to other enemy installations, including bridges, buildings and anti-aircraft gun emplacements. They dropped in excess of 2,750 tons of bombs and fired more than 155,000 rounds of ammunition in strafing attacks. D. M. Luke, H. L. Davis, M. J. Miller, D. C. Zielinslci, J. Powell, L. B. Brown, J.
