Very rare photo of soviet pilots from Korea
Soviet WW2 3 time hero Ivan Kozhedub(center) instructing his subordinates.He,acording to soviet sources, had two victories against americans,but was forbiden from flying because soviet leadership was afraid that the death of such person would lead to a serious drop in morale,not to mention a capture
Left from him its Sergei Kramarenko,who was credited with 13 victories.
Right from him is Dmitry Oskin with 11 victories.
Far left is Evgeny Stelmah with 2 victories,he was downed over Yalu river and MIA.Acording to some early sources from 90s he was killed during firefight wit UN forces who tried to capture him-but its probably a hoax
Note that they have Chinese jackets side by side with riding breeches. It looks a little strange

Same MoFos we were feeding in WWII and supplying everything to keep them alive. I think I wouldn't be bragging about people who helped me live, being killed by me.

An Airman's photos of North Korea, Oct-Nov 1950

This is a small album containing some very rare slides taken at K-23 Airbase, PyongYang, North Korea, during the brief time UN Forces held it. Other slides were taken at Suwon and Kimpo airbases at around the same time.

I ask, what is that F-80 doing there? is he captured? Could it be recovered or is it spending its days in a museum beyond the DMZ?

In fact, the opposite is true. It's a North Korean airfield that was captured by the Americans with different KPAF aircraft. This F-80 was later damaged and abandoned along with other old North Korean aircraft.
Otherwise, there are plenty of American aircraft in North Korean museums.

On display at the newly renovated war museum in Pyongyang. On one side they have displayed allied vehicles/aircraft and on the other side is the Korean hardware.

This one was captured by the Marines in 1950 and returned to flying condition for testing at Patterson AFB. Unfortunately, I believe it was scrapped afterwards.

It wouldn't surprise me at all, according to them they won the war and the rest of us are wrong...
