Historical Notes: Osan Air Force Base became operational in Dec 1952 and is not depicted on this terrain. The 5th Air Force that supported UN operations flew from airfields in Japan at the outset of this conflict. The North Korean Air Force was initially equipped with Soviet Yak-9s that attacked Kimpo and Suwon airfields. The Web site of the 40th FIS states that Lt. George Edwards shot down a YAK-9 while on his 21st mission out of K-2. With the entry of Red China into the conflict, the MIG-15 made its appearance and operated with impunity from the Antung Airfield that was on the Chinese side of the Yalu. UN forces were prohibited from crossing the Yalu River. The F4U Corsair and Hawker Sea Fury each have the distinction as piston engine aircraft of downing a MIG-15. The bridges spanning the Yalu River could only be bombed from the Korean side of the river which made it difficult to bomb by the B29s. The Corsair and the AD Skyraider achieved better results due to their close in method of attack. The following US aircraft operated from the these airfields:
K-3 1st MAW F4U
Yonpo VMF(N)-513 F4U
Wonsan VMF(N)-5132 F4U
K-6 MAG12 F4U, AD4
Pyongyang 8th FBG P51
K-10 18th FBW P51
K-10 No2 Sqdn SAAF P51
K-1 17th BW B-26
K-8 3rd BW B-26
