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.
