Re: Aircraft with the fledgling NKPAF

Here's some photo's of ex-Japanese a/c in Korean service:

If link doesn't work search on: George Mellinger collection

The top photo's are ROKAF Ki-9's. The middle photo is labelled Ki-36, other
sources have the same photo
and say it's a KPAFAC Ki-55 at Pyongyang (Ki-36 was an army cooperation
type, Ki-55 a trainer but otherwise almost identical). The bottom photo,
Ki-54 (twin engine trainer/light transport) is obviously  KPAFAC from the
markings, but I also recall its capture at Pyongyang mentioned in US
documents. Note the 4 bladed prop to the left, seems to be an Il-10.
