Re: P39 in Korea from Joe Baugher site

Hi Cookie
SK had about 110 aircraft.? Mostly L4 and 5's and T-6's...
I suppose they had some planes such as C47's...other transports.
The US sent over about 25 P51's

Before the UN, Russia and China got into the supply chain
SK and NK had about the same amount of aircraft.
Is this a correct statement?
