RE: DPRK View of Korean Air War
I am a glider club member in the USA. Would you care to tell us what your
glider operation was like?

<< File: nk-af.jpg >> Good post, Cookie:
Attached is a photo of the 1st graduating class of the NKAF
Academy (1948?).
I was a member of the Glider Club in junior-high (North
Korea's military
academies come after junior-high). There was an air base
near Hamhung (my
home-town) and we were trained by a pilot from the base.
The first air raid (Summer of 1950) I saw was by a B29
formation going after
the chemical plants of Hungnum. Two Yaks rose up and one of
them got shot
down. The other got away. I thought it was a dumb thing
to do.
