Right, Cookie:
 
There is a cemetery near Hanoi for the NK pilots shot down.   BTW, NK pilots flew with Mubarek's pilots during the Yom Kipper War and the fellow who commanded the NK detachment in Egypt met Bill Clinton at the White House last year..

Mike,

They were fighting their own war of liberation from the French at the time and did not participate as far as anyone knows. There appears to have been some cooperation between 1954 and 1967, however, which went south when KPAFAC pilots begin getting shot down in large numbers and taking a good portion of the VPAF's MiG-17 force with them when they went.
