Korea 1958

[Love Shack <Home@DanSources.com>]

I noticed when the Koreas went after each other in 1958, there were a lot
of
RoCAF F-86 pilots with Chinese names. Some from WW2. Here is short
a list.

Ping-Chun Chin, Chung-Li Li, Hsien-Wu Liu, Fu-The Pan, Wan-Li Lin,
Yang-Chung Lu, Che-Shing Mao, Tzu-Wan Sun, Kuang-Hsing Tung, Hsin-Yeh
Tien-En Chiang, Hsu-Hsiang Ku.

These are distinctly Chiese names.  Was Tiawan training SK pilots?

Dan,

There were apparently no confirmed fights between F-51s and La-9/11s in Korea. The Soviets claim that those which took place in China during 1949-50 were all decided in the favor of the La-11s, whose heavier armament of 3 x 23mm guns could blow the Mustang away before it could escape.

Note that these were ROC flown aircraft.
