Thanks Les. I translated that one for Ed but forgot about it. Needless to say, sarcastic or not the Russians have a pretty good handle on what fought on the "Unified Air Army" side in Korea. (I wish I could say the same thing for their claims!) <<

I had forgotten I had that on the web site also so thanks again.


And did any of the DPRK planes resemble a P-39? Reason for asking was we found a crashed aircraft with DPRK markings high up in the Taebaek Mountains in the summer of 1951. Badly smashed up so hard to tell what it looked like originally but the cockpit area did resemble that of a P-39. But then, I guess a lot of WWII aircraft had similar cockpit configurations.
