GazzaS Posted January 27, 2022 Share Posted January 27, 2022 Hello Comrades. I am seeking images of North Korean airfields that may have been used by Soviet MiG-15s. I only have one, but since these MiG's carry the Soviet star, this may just be a Soviet airfield covered with hexagonal panels for a runway. Thank you for your thoughts and images. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinnfb Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Some pictures taken at Kimpo after recaptured by UN forces, Chinese airports along the MiG Alley looked most likely the same. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I would shy away from the octagonal concrete panel pattern as it was designed and build by Soviets, I know you can see them at some airports of the Warsaw Pact countries, but only because those bases were build by Soviets, for Soviets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin, Thank you for the great pics. Some really eye-openers there. I never really thought of the Sturmovik when I thought of the Korean war. Also glad for the hint about the octagonal panels. Would have been interesting, anyway. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Yes indeed, such types as Il-10, Tu-10 or La-9/11 were present in Korea, also Po-2 and yak-18 causing havoc and sleepless nights among the allied troops. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
