I remember a ROKAF F-51 squadron operating out of K-18, Kangnung, in 
1951.  It was "advised" by a U.S.A.F. captain who was shot down a mission 
the day before he was due to rotate.  Understand he survived and came out 
in Big Switch but don't know for sure.

And another question:  Did ROKAF ever get any jets in the air during the 
war?  Or did those come later?
