Here is a Republic of Korea (RoK) F51D of "Bout One", a composite group made up of instructor pilots from the USAF 8th FBG, plus a handful of RoKAF pilots. Hastily organised on 27 June 1950, the group immediately moved "up-country" to Taegu AB, which was little more than a crude grass and gravel strip close to the frontline.

The "Bout One" group was given ten F-51D's with which to try and slow down the whole of the advancing North Korean People's Army! These aircraft had been towing targets in Japan for several years prior to their return to action, and were generally in a pitful state of repair. The demand placed on this small group was heavy, and pilots often had to work over the entire width of the peninsula on the same sortie.

This aircraft is a modification of Fabio Mele's most excellent RAAF P51K. Thanks Fabio!
