Seeking Period photos of North Korean Airfields

[GazzaS]

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.

Those Korean pilots seem vaguely familiar ...

not many of a clear airfield pictures out there

Some pictures taken at Kimpo after recaptured by UN forces, Chinese airports along the MiG Alley  looked most likely the same.

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.

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.

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.

Interesting.  I've never seen the Yak 18 before.
