P-51 Mustang mu Nkhondo yaku Korea

Lieutenant Colonel Robert "Pancho" Pasqualicchio, wamkulu wa 18 FBG, akuzungulira Mustang wake wotchedwa "Ol 'NaD SOB" ("Napalm Drop Son of a Bitch"); September 1951 Ndege yowonetsedwa (45-11742) idapangidwa ngati P-51D-30-NT ndipo inali Mustang yomaliza yopangidwa ndi North American Aviation.

The Mustang, wankhondo wodziwika bwino yemwe adalowa m'mbiri monga yemwe adaphwanya mphamvu ya Luftwaffe mu 1944-1945, patatha zaka zingapo ku Korea adachita ntchito yosayamika komanso yosayenera kwa iye ngati ndege youkira. Kuchita nawo nkhondoyi kumatanthauziridwa ngakhale lero - mosayenera! - zambiri monga chidwi kuposa chinthu chomwe chinakhudza kapena kuthandizira zotsatira za mkanganowu.

Kufalikira kwa nkhondo ku Korea kunali kwanthawi pang'ono, popeza Amereka ndi Russia adagawanitsa dzikolo theka mu 1945, kutsogolera kukhazikitsidwa kwa mayiko awiri odana - lachikominisi kumpoto ndi capitalist kumwera. patapita zaka zitatu.

Ngakhale kuti nkhondo yofuna kulamulira dziko la Korea inali yosapeŵeka, ndipo mkanganowo unakula kwa zaka zambiri, asilikali a ku South Korea anali osakonzekera nkomwe. Analibe magalimoto okhala ndi zida, ndipo analibe gulu lankhondo - aku America adakonda kutaya ndege zambiri zomwe zidatsalira ku Far East pambuyo pa Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yadziko Lonse kuposa kusamutsira kwa mnzake waku Korea kuti "asasokoneze mphamvu mu dera”. Panthawiyi, asilikali a DPRK (DPRK) adalandira kuchokera ku Russia, makamaka akasinja ambirimbiri ndi ndege (makamaka Yak-9P omenyana ndi ndege za Il-10). M’bandakucha pa June 25, 1950, iwo anawoloka msewu wa 38.

"Flying Tigers of Korea"

Poyambirira, Achimereka, otetezera akuluakulu a South Korea (ngakhale kuti asilikali a UN adakhala mayiko 21, 90% ya asilikali adachokera ku United States) anali osakonzeka kubwezera kuukira kwakukulu kumeneku.

Magawo a US Air Force adasanjidwa kukhala FEAF (Far East Air Force), i.e. Air Force ya Far East. Mapangidwe amphamvu awa, ngakhale pakuwongolera anali ankhondo atatu a Air Force, kuyambira pa Meyi 31, 1950, anali ndi ndege 553 zokha zomwe zimagwira ntchito, kuphatikiza omenyera 397: 365 F-80 Shooting Star ndi 32-hull, mapasa-injini F- 82 yokhala ndi piston drive. Pakatikati pa gulu lankhondo ili linali 8th ndi 49th FBG (Fighter-Bomber Group) ndi 35th FIG (Fighter-Interceptor Group) yomwe ili ku Japan ndi gawo la asilikali omwe akugwira ntchito. Onse atatu, komanso 18 FBG yomwe idakhazikitsidwa ku Philippines, idasinthidwa kuchoka ku F-1949 Mustangs kupita ku F-1950s pakati pa '51 ndi' 80 - miyezi ingapo nkhondo yaku Korea isanayambe.

Kukonzanso kwa F-80, ngakhale kumawoneka ngati kudumpha kwachulukidwe (kusuntha kuchoka pa pisitoni kupita ku injini ya jet), kunakankhira chitetezo chakuya. Panali nthano zamitundu yosiyanasiyana ya Mustang. Pa Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yadziko Lonse, omenyana amtundu uwu anawuluka kuchokera ku Iwo Jima kupita ku Tokyo - pafupifupi 1200 km kuchokera kunjira imodzi. Panthawiyi, F-80, chifukwa cha mafuta ake okwera kwambiri, anali ndi malo ochepa kwambiri - pafupifupi 160 Km mu akasinja mkati. Ngakhale kuti ndegeyo ikhoza kukhala ndi akasinja awiri akunja, omwe adawonjezera maulendo ake pafupifupi 360 km, mu kasinthidwe uku sakanatha kunyamula mabomba. Mtunda wochokera kuzilumba zapafupi za Japan (Kyushu ndi Honshu) kupita ku 38th parallel, kumene nkhondo inayamba, inali pafupifupi 580 km. Kuphatikiza apo, ndege zothandizira mwanzeru siziyenera kungowulukira, kuwukira ndikuwuluka, koma nthawi zambiri zimazungulira mozungulira, zokonzeka kupereka chithandizo zikayitanidwa kuchokera pansi.

Kutumizanso kwa F-80 ku South Korea sikunathetse vutoli. Kwa mtundu uwu wa ndege, pankafunika mayendedwe olimba okwera mamita 2200. Panthawiyo, ngakhale ku Japan kunali ma eyapoti anayi okha. Munalibe aliyense ku South Korea, ndipo ena onse anali mumkhalidwe woipa. Ngakhale kuti pa nthawi ya dziko lino, Japanese anamanga ndege khumi, pambuyo pa mapeto a nkhondo yachiwiri ya padziko lonse, aku Korea, popanda pafupifupi ndege zawo nkhondo, anasunga awiri okha mu dongosolo.

Pachifukwa ichi, nkhondo itayamba, pa malo omenyera nkhondo yoyamba ya F-82 idawonekera - omenyera okha a US Air Force omwe analipo panthawiyo, omwe amalola kuti pakhale zochitika zazitali. Ogwira ntchito awo adapanga maulendo angapo opita ku likulu la South Korea, Seoul, omwe adagwidwa ndi mdani pa June 28. Panthawiyi, a Lee Seung-man, pulezidenti wa South Korea, anali kukakamiza kazembe wa US kuti amukonzere ndege zomenyera nkhondo, akuti akufuna ma Mustang khumi okha. Poyankha, aku America adawulutsa oyendetsa ndege khumi aku South Korea kupita ku Itazuke Air Base ku Japan kukawaphunzitsa kuwuluka F-51. Komabe, zomwe zinalipo ku Japan zinali ndege zingapo zakale zomwe zidagwiritsidwa ntchito kukokera zoyeserera. Maphunziro a oyendetsa ndege aku Korea, mkati mwa pulogalamu ya Fight One, adaperekedwa kwa odzipereka ochokera ku 8th VBR. Iwo adalamulidwa ndi mkulu. Dean Hess, msilikali wakale wa ntchito ku France mu 1944 pa ulamuliro wa Bingu.

Posakhalitsa zinaonekeratu kuti a Mustang adzafuna anthu oposa khumi aku Korea ophunzitsidwa. Mabwalo a ndege a Johnson (omwe tsopano ndi a Iruma) ndi a Tachikawa pafupi ndi Tokyo anali ndi ndege 37 zamtundu umenewu zomwe zikudikirira kutayidwa, koma zonsezo zinkafunika kukonzedwanso kwambiri. Ma Mustangs okwana 764 adatumikira ku US National Guard, ndipo 794 adasungidwa - iwo, komabe, adayenera kubweretsedwa kuchokera ku USA.

Zochitika pa Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yadziko Lonse zimasonyeza kuti ndege zoyendetsedwa ndi nyenyezi monga Bingu kapena F4U Corsair (zotsirizirazi zinagwiritsidwa ntchito bwino kwambiri ku Korea ndi US Navy ndi US Marine Corps - werengani zambiri pamutuwu). Aviation International" 8/2019). The Mustang, yokhala ndi injini yamadzi yoziziritsidwa ndi madzi, idayatsidwa ndi moto kuchokera pansi. Edgar Schmued, yemwe adapanga ndegeyi, adachenjeza kuti asagwiritse ntchito kuukira malo omwe ali pansi, pofotokoza kuti zinalibe chiyembekezo pa ntchitoyi, chifukwa chipolopolo chimodzi cha 0,3-inch chingathe kulowa mu radiator, ndiyeno mudzakhala ndi mphindi ziwiri zothawa. injini isanayime. Zowonadi, pamene Mustangs adayang'ana pansi pamiyezi yomaliza ya Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yadziko Lonse, adawonongeka kwambiri ndi moto wotsutsana ndi ndege. Ku Korea, zinali zoipitsitsa pankhaniyi, chifukwa apa adani ankakonda kuwombera ndege zotsika. ndi zida zazing'ono, monga mfuti za submachine.

Ndiye nchifukwa chiyani Mabingu sanayambitsidwe? Nkhondo ya ku Korea itayamba, ku United States kunali ma F-1167 okwana 47, ngakhale kuti magulu ambiri omwe ankagwira ntchito mwakhama ndi asilikali a National Guard anali 265 okha. mayunitsi omwe adakhala panthawiyo Ku Far East, omenyera nkhondo a US Air Force adagwiritsa ntchito ma Mustangs nthawi yomwe asanatembenuzidwe kukhala ma jets (magulu ena adasunganso zitsanzo chimodzi pazolumikizana). Chifukwa chake, adadziwa momwe angawayendetsere, komanso kutsitsa ogwira nawo ntchito. Kuphatikiza apo, ena mwa ma F-51 omwe adachotsedwa ntchito anali akadali ku Japan, ndipo panalibe Mabingu konse - ndipo nthawi inali kutha.

Pulogalamu ya Bout One itangoyamba kumene, chigamulo chinapangidwa kuti asamutsire maphunziro a oyendetsa ndege a ku Korea kudziko lawo. Tsiku limenelo, masana a June 29, General MacArthur analiponso kuti achite msonkhano ndi Purezidenti Lee ku Suwon. Atangotera, bwalo la ndege linaukiridwa ndi ndege za kumpoto kwa Korea. General ndi a President anatuluka panja kuti akaone zomwe zikuchitika. Chodabwitsa n'chakuti, inali nthawi yomwe ma Mustang anayi, oyendetsedwa ndi aphunzitsi a ku America, anafika. Nthawi yomweyo oyendetsa ndegewo anathamangitsa adaniwo. 2/l ndi. Orrin Fox adawombera ndege ziwiri za Il-10. Richard Burns yekha. Lieutenant Harry Sandlin adanenanso za womenya La-7. Purezidenti wokondwa kwambiri Rhee, ponena za anthu odzipereka a ku America omwe anamenya nkhondo yapitayi ku Burma ndi China, anawatcha "akambuku akuuluka aku Korea."

Madzulo a tsiku lomwelo (June 29), Prime Minister waku Australia adavomera kuchita nawo ma Mustangs a 77 Squadron. Linali gulu lomaliza lankhondo la RAAF lomwe linatsala ku Japan nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse itatha. Adalamulidwa ndi Mtsogoleri wa Air Force Louis Spence, yemwe kumapeto kwa 1941/42, akuwuluka Kittyhawks ndi 3rd Squadron RAAF, adapanga maulendo a 99 kumpoto kwa Africa ndikuwombera ndege ziwiri. Pambuyo pake adalamulira Spitfire Squadron (452 ​​​​Squadron RAAF) ku Pacific.

Anthu aku Australia adayamba kugwira ntchito pa 2 July 1950 kuchokera kumalo awo ku Iwakuni pafupi ndi Hiroshima, akuperekeza oponya mabomba a US Air Force. Poyamba anaperekeza B-26 Invaders kupita ku Seoul, yomwe inali yolunjika pa milatho yodutsa mtsinje wa Hangng. M'njira, anthu a ku Australia anayenera kuzemba mokhota lakuthwa kuchokera mzere kuukira American F-80s, amene anaganiza kuti adani. Kenako adaperekeza a Yonpo Superfortece B-29s. Tsiku lotsatira (July 3) analamulidwa kuti akaukire m’dera lapakati pa Suwon ndi Pyeongtaek. V/Cm Spence adafunsa zomwe adani adapita kumwera kwenikweni. Komabe, adatsimikiziridwa kuti chandamalecho chidadziwika bwino. Ndipotu, a Mustangs aku Australia anaukira asilikali a South Korea, kupha 29 ndi kuvulaza ena ambiri. Kutayika koyamba kwa gululi kunali pa Julayi 7, pomwe wachiwiri kwa wamkulu wa gululo, Sergeant Graham Strout, adaphedwa ndi moto woteteza ndege pakuwukira bwalo lankhondo ku Samchek.

Zida zankhondo "Mustangs" 127-mm HVAR mizinga. Ngakhale zida za akasinja a North Korea T-34/85 zinali zotsutsana nawo, zinali zogwira mtima ndipo zidagwiritsidwa ntchito molimbana ndi zida zina komanso malo owombera zida zankhondo.

Kuwongolera bwino kwambiri

Pakadali pano, pa Julayi 3, oyendetsa pulogalamu ya Fight One - khumi aku America (ophunzitsa) ndi asanu ndi limodzi aku South Korea - adayamba ntchito zankhondo kuchokera ku bwalo la ndege ku Daegu (K-2). Kuwukira kwawo koyamba kunayang'ana zigawo zotsogola za DPRK 4th Mechanized Division pomwe idakwera kuchokera ku Yongdeungpo kupita ku Suwon. Tsiku lotsatira (July 4) m’chigawo cha Anyang, kum’mwera kwa Seoul, anaukira ndime ya akasinja a T-34/85 ndi zipangizo zina. Colonel Keun-Sok Lee adamwalira pachiwopsezocho, mwina adawomberedwa ndi moto wotsutsana ndi ndege, ngakhale malinga ndi mtundu wina wa zochitika, sanathe kutulutsa F-51 yake pakuthawa ndikugwa. Mulimonsemo, iye anali woyendetsa ndege woyamba wa Mustang kugwa mu nkhondo ya Korea. Chochititsa chidwi n'chakuti, pa Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yadziko Lonse, Lee, yemwe anali sajeni, anamenyana (pansi pa dzina loti Aoki Akira) mu Air Force ya Japan, akuwulutsa asilikali a Ki-27 Nate ndi 77th Sentai. Pankhondo ya pa Disembala 25, 1941 pa Rangoon (zodabwitsa, ndi "Flying Tigers"), adawomberedwa ndikugwidwa.

Posakhalitsa, chigamulo chinapangidwa chochotsa oyendetsa ndege aku Korea kwakanthawi kunkhondo ndikuwalola kupitiriza maphunziro awo. Pachifukwa ichi, adatsala ndi Mustangs zisanu ndi chimodzi ndi Maj. Hess ndi captain. Milton Bellovin ngati Aphunzitsi. Pankhondo, adasinthidwa ndi odzipereka ochokera ku 18 FBG (makamaka kuchokera ku gulu lomwelo - 12 FBS), yomwe idakhazikitsidwa ku Philippines. Gulu lotchedwa "Dallas Squadron" ndipo oyendetsa ndege anali 338, kuphatikizapo 36 apolisi. Adalamulidwa ndi Captain Harry Moreland, yemwe pa Nkhondo Yachiwiri Yapadziko Lonse (akutumikira mu 27 FG) adawulutsa maulendo 150 a Bingu ku Italy ndi France. Gululo linafika ku Japan pa July 10 ndipo linanyamuka kupita ku Daegu patatha masiku angapo, kumene linaphatikizapo aphunzitsi akale a Bout One (kupatulapo Hess ndi Bellovin).

Captain Morelanda wa Squadron adatengera dzina la 51. FS (P) - Chilembo "P" (Chapang'onopang'ono) chimatanthawuza kusinthika kwake, kusakhalitsa. Anayamba kumenyana pa July 15, ali ndi ndege 16 zokha zomwe zimagwira ntchito. Ntchito yoyamba ya gululi inali kuwononga ngolo za zida za njanji zomwe zidasiyidwa ku Daejeon ndi aku America omwe abwerera mwachangu. Captain Moreland, mtsogoleri wa gulu lankhondo, anakumbukira limodzi la masiku ake oyambirira ku Korea:

Tinakwera ndege ziwiri mumsewu wochokera ku Seoul kupita ku Daejeon ndi cholinga choukira chilichonse chomwe chidakulungidwa m'migolo yathu. Cholinga chathu choyamba chinali magalimoto awiri a ku North Korea, omwe tinawombera ndiyeno ndi napalm.

M’misewu yapafupi munali magalimoto ambiri. Patangopita nthawi pang’ono titakhotera kum’mwera, ndinaona udzu waukulu uli pakati pa munda umene unali ndi mapazi opitako. Ndinawulukira pansi ndikuzindikira kuti inali thanki yobisika. Popeza panthaŵiyo tinali titagwiritsa ntchito napalm yonse, tinaganiza zowona ngati mfuti zathu zamakina za theka la inchi zinali zokhoza kuchita chirichonse. Zipolopolozo sizinathe kuloŵa zidazo, koma zinayatsa udzu. Izi zikachitika, tinkauluka kangapo pa mulu wa udzuwo kuti tiziyatsa moto ndi mpweya. Lawi lamoto lidawotcha mu thanki - titazungulira pamwamba pake, linaphulika mwadzidzidzi. Woyendetsa ndege wina anati, "Ngati mwawombera udzu ngati uwu ndipo ukuphulika, mumadziwa kuti pali zambiri kuposa udzu."

Woyendetsa ndege woyamba wa gululi kumwalira anali 2/Lt W. Bille Crabtree, yemwe adaphulitsa bomba lake pa 25 Julayi pomwe akuukira chandamale ku Gwangju. Pofika kumapeto kwa mweziwo, No. 51 Squadron (P) anali atataya ma Mustang khumi. Panthawi imeneyi, chifukwa cha zinthu zodabwitsa kutsogolo, iye anaukira adani akuguba ngakhale usiku, ngakhale kuti F-51 anali osayenera kwa iye - malawi a moto mfuti ndi roketi moto khungu oyendetsa.

Mu Ogasiti, gulu la Moreland Squadron linali loyamba ku Korea kubweretsa zida za 6,5-inch (165 mm) ATAR zolimbana ndi akasinja zokhala ndi mutu wankhondo wa HEAT. Zipolopolo za HVAR za mainchesi 5 (127 mm) nthawi zambiri zimangosokoneza thanki, ndikuphwanya njanji. Napalm, yonyamulidwa mu akasinja pansi, idakhalabe chida choopsa kwambiri cha Mustangs mpaka kumapeto kwa nkhondo. Ngakhale ngati woyendetsa ndegeyo sanagulitse chandamale mwachindunji, mphira mu njanji ya T-34/85 nthawi zambiri ankawotcha moto kuchokera kuphulika kwamoto ndipo thanki yonse inayaka moto. Napalm inalinso chida chokhacho chomwe asilikali aku North Korea ankaopa. Akaphulitsidwa kapena kuphulitsidwa ndi mabomba, ngakhale amene anali ndi mfuti zoyenda pansi ankagona chagada ndipo amawombera kumwamba.

Capt. Marvin Wallace wa zaka 35. FIG anakumbukira kuti: Panthawi ya nkhondo ya napalm, zinali zodabwitsa kuti matupi ambiri a asilikali a ku Korea sanasonyeze zizindikiro za moto. Izi mwina zinali chifukwa chakuti mafuta odzaza mu odzola adayaka kwambiri, akuyamwa mpweya wonse wa mumlengalenga. Kuphatikiza apo, idatulutsa utsi wambiri wotsekereza.

Poyambirira, oyendetsa ndege a Mustang adalimbana ndi zolinga zomwe adakumana nazo mwachisawawa, akugwira ntchito m'mikhalidwe yovuta kwambiri - pamtunda wotsika kwambiri, m'mapiri, motsogozedwa ndi kuwerenga kwa kampasi ndi malingaliro awo (mapu olemera ndi zithunzi zapamlengalenga zidatayika pomwe aku America adachoka ku Korea. mu 1949). Kuchita bwino kwa ntchito zawo kwawonjezeka kwambiri kuyambira pamene asilikali a ku America adagwiritsanso ntchito luso loyang'ana pawailesi, zomwe zinkawoneka kuti zaiwalika pambuyo pa nkhondo yachiwiri yapadziko lonse.

Chifukwa cha msonkhano womwe unachitika pa Julayi 7 ku Tokyo, likulu la FEAF lidaganiza zokonzanso magulu asanu ndi limodzi a F-80 okhala ndi ma F-51, momwe omalizawo akupezeka. Chiwerengero cha Mustangs chomwe chinakonzedwa ku Japan chinapangitsa kuti athe kuwapatsa 40 FIS kuchokera ku gulu la 35. The squadron analandira Mustangs pa July 10, ndipo patatha masiku asanu anayamba ntchito ku Pohang pa gombe la kum'mawa kwa Korea, mwamsanga pamene asilikali ankhondo anamaliza kuyala zitsulo perforated PSP mphasa pa wakale wakale airfield Japanese, ndiye anasankha K. - 3. Kufulumira uku kudatsimikiziridwa ndi zomwe zidachitika pansi - asitikali a UN, adakankhidwira ku Pusan ​​(doko lalikulu kwambiri ku South Korea) mu Tsushima Strait, adabwerera kutsogolo.

Mwamwayi, posakhalitsa zida zoyambira zakunja zidafika. Anaperekedwa ndi chonyamulira ndege cha USS Boxer, chomwe chinakwera 145 Mustangs (79 kuchokera kumagulu a National Guard ndi 66 kuchokera kumalo osungiramo katundu a McClelland Air Force Base) ndi oyendetsa ndege ophunzitsidwa 70. Sitimayo idanyamuka kuchokera ku Alameda, California pa Julayi 14 ndikuwapereka ku Yokosuki, Japan pa Julayi 23 munthawi yamasiku asanu ndi atatu ndi maola asanu ndi awiri.

Kutumiza kumeneku kunagwiritsidwa ntchito makamaka kudzaza magulu onse awiri ku Korea - 51st FS(P) ndi 40 FIS - ku gulu lanthawi zonse la ndege 25. Pambuyo pake, 67 FBS idakonzedwanso, yomwe, pamodzi ndi ogwira ntchito ku 18 FBG, gawo la makolo ake, adachoka ku Philippines kupita ku Japan. Gululi lidayamba kuyenda pa Mustangs pa Ogasiti 1 kuchokera ku maziko a Ashiya pachilumba cha Kyushu. Patatha masiku awiri, likulu la unityo linasamukira ku Taeg. Kumeneko adatenga ulamuliro wa 51st FS (P), yomwe inkagwira ntchito palokha, kenako adasintha dzina lake kukhala 12 FBS ndikusankha wamkulu watsopano wokhala ndi udindo waukulu (Captain Moreland amayenera kukhutira ndi ntchito gulu). + Panalibe malo a gulu lachiwiri la asilikali ku Daegu, moti gulu la 67 linatsala ku Asiya.

Kuyambira pa July 30, 1950, asilikali a FEAF anali ndi 264 Mustangs omwe anali nawo, ngakhale kuti si onse omwe ankagwira ntchito mokwanira. Zimadziwika kuti oyendetsa ndegewo adachita zosemphana ndi ndege zomwe zinalibe zida zapamsewu. Ena anabwerera ndi mapiko owonongeka chifukwa migolo yamfuti ya makina yotha inaphulika panthawi yowombera. Vuto lina linali kusauka kwaukadaulo kwa ma F-51 otumizidwa kuchokera kutsidya kwa nyanja. Panali chikhulupiliro m'magulu a asilikali kuti magulu a asilikali a National Guard, omwe amayenera kupereka ndege zawo ku zosowa za nkhondo yomwe ikuchitika, adachotsa omwe ali ndi chuma chachikulu (osati kuwerengera kuti Mustangs Zapangidwa kuyambira 1945, kotero mayunitsi onse omwe alipo, ngakhale atsopano, omwe sanagwiritsidwepo ntchito, anali "akale"). Mwanjira ina, zolephera ndi zolephera, makamaka injini, zinakhala chimodzi mwa zifukwa zazikulu za kuchulukitsa zotayika pakati pa oyendetsa F-51 ku Korea.

Kubwerera koyamba

Kulimbana ndi zomwe zimatchedwa kuti Busan foothold kunali koopsa kwambiri. M'mawa wa August 5, mkulu wa 67 FPS, Major S. Louis Sebil, adatsogolera nyumba ya alonda a Mustangs atatu pomenyana ndi chipilala chopangidwa ndi makina chomwe chili pafupi ndi mudzi wa Hamchang. Magalimotowo anali akuwoloka Mtsinje wa Naktong, kulowera pamlatho pomwe asitikali a DPRK anali kutsogolera ku Taegu. Ndege ya Sebill inali ndi maroketi asanu ndi limodzi ndi mabomba awiri a 227 kg. Pa njira yoyamba yopita ku chandamalecho, bomba limodzi linakakamira pa ejector ndi woyendetsa ndegeyo, kuyesera kuti athe kulamuliranso F-51 yodabwitsa, kwakanthawi idakhala chandamale chosavuta cha moto kuchokera pansi. Atatha kuvulazidwa, adadziwitsa mapiko ake za balalo, lomwe mwina linali lakupha. Atawanyengerera kuti ayese kupita ku Daegu, iye anayankha kuti, "Sindingathe kuchita zimenezo." Ine nditembenuka ndikutenga mwana wa bulu. Kenako idadumphira kumtunda wa adaniwo, kuwombera miyala, kutsegulira mfuti zamakina, ndikugunda chonyamulira chankhondo, zomwe zidapangitsa kuti bomba lomwe linali pansi pa phiko liphulike. Kwa izi Mei. Sebilla adamwalira atamwalira Medal of Honor.

Posakhalitsa, bwalo la ndege ku Daegu (K-2) linali pafupi kwambiri ndi mzere wakutsogolo, ndipo pa Ogasiti 8, likulu la 18 FBG, limodzi ndi 12 FBG, adakakamizika kuchoka ku Ashiya. Patsiku lomwelo, gulu lachiwiri la 3 FPG, 35th FIS, linapita ku Pohang (K-39), kukatenga ma Mustangs awo atangotsala tsiku limodzi. Ku Pohang, adalowa nawo FIS ya 40 yomwe idakhazikitsidwa pamenepo, komanso osati kwanthawi yayitali. Ogwira ntchito pansi, omwe amatumikira ndegeyo masana, adayenera kuthana ndi zigawenga zomwe zimafuna kulowa mubwalo la ndege usiku. Pamapeto pake, pa Ogasiti 13, adaniwo adakakamiza FIG yonse ya 35 kuti ichoke kudzera pa Tsushima Strait kupita ku Tsuiki.

8 FBG inali yomaliza ya Mustangs kusintha zida popanda kutaya ntchito ya tsiku. M'mawa wa Ogasiti 11, oyendetsa ndege a magulu awiri ophatikizika - 35th ndi 36 FBS - adanyamuka ku Itazuke paulendo woyamba wa F-51 ku Korea ndipo adafika ku Tsuiki, komwe akhalako kuyambira pamenepo. Patsiku limenelo, Captain Charles Brown wa 36 FBS analunjika ku North Korea T-34/85. Adayankha ndi moto komanso molondola. Sizikudziwika ngati chinali chipolopolo cha mizinga, chifukwa gulu la akasinja omwe adawukira ankhondo a KRDL adatsegula zipolopolo zonse ndikuwomberana wina ndi mnzake kuchokera kumfuti zamakina! Mulimonsemo, captain. Brown anali ndi mwayi wokayikitsa kuti mwina ndiye woyendetsa ndege yekhayo pankhondoyi yemwe adawomberedwa ndi thanki (kapena antchito ake).

Mwa njira, oyendetsa ndegewo sanali okondwa kwambiri kukhazikitsanso F-51. Monga wolemba mbiri wa 8th VBR adanena, ambiri a iwo adawona ndi maso awo mu nkhondo yapitayi chifukwa chake Mustang inalephera ngati ndege pafupi ndi kuthandizira asilikali apansi. Sanasangalale kusonyezanso zimenezi mwa ndalama zawo.

Pofika pakati pa Ogasiti 1950, mayunitsi onse anthawi zonse a F-51 adabwerera ku Japan: 18 FBG (12th ndi 67th FBS) ku Asia, Kyushu, 35th FIG (39th ndi 40th FIS) ndi 8th FBG. 35th FBS) pamalo apafupi a Tsuiki. Anthu a ku Australia ochokera ku No. 36 Squadron anali adakali ku Iwakuni pachilumba cha Honshu, kuchokera ku Daegu Airport (K-77) kuti akonzenso zida ndi kuthira mafuta. Ndi sukulu yoyendetsa ndege yokha ya Koma projekiti imodzi motsogozedwa ndi wamkulu. Hessa, kuchokera ku Daeeg kupita ku Sacheon Airport (K-2), kenako kupita ku Jinhae (K-4). Monga gawo la maphunzirowa, a Hess adatengera ophunzira ake kupita nawo kutsogolo kwapafupi kuti anzawo awone ndege zomwe zili ndi zilembo zaku South Korea, zomwe zidalimbikitsa chidwi chawo. Komanso, iye yekha anawulukira unsanctioned sorties - mpaka kakhumi pa tsiku (sic!) - amene analandira dzina lakutchulidwa "Air Force Lokha".

Bwalo la ndege la Chinghe linali pafupi kwambiri ndi mzere wakutsogolo womwe unali pafupi ndi bridgehead ya Busan kuti ukhale ndi gulu lankhondo lanthawi zonse pamenepo. Mwamwayi, ma kilomita angapo kum'mawa kwa Busan, aku America adapeza aiwala, eyapoti yakale yaku Japan. Asilikali a engineering atangomanganso ngalande za ngalande ndikuyika mphasa zachitsulo, pa Seputembara 8, Mustang VBR ya 18 idasuntha. Kuyambira pamenepo, eyapoti yalembedwa kuti Busan East (K-9).
