Gents, as KAW is ariving lately, some of the most misterious facts about Korea War remains cloudy even in those days of globalization. The following description is taken from Squadron´s ¨Air War Over Korea¨, by Larry Davis, page 34. It says:
¨The NKAF fighter force, made up of Yak-3,Yak-7,P-39/P-63 Cobras, and IL-10 continued to attempt to stave off the American air onslaught, but it was a futile effort.¨
It´s not the first time I find a description about P-39/P-63 flying with the North Koreans. I NEVER saw any photo or a drawing showing these birds anywhere. It sounds very truly as the Soviets left many planes along the invaded countries and North Korea was one of these. I read too that american pilots used to called all the Korean´s inlined prop planes as ¨Yaks¨ and it may had been this case. What a great mistery it is...
