Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum, North Korea

[Randy Haskin]

On a whim, I spent a bunch of time this morning reading trip reports from European tourists who have visited North Korea.

In a photo album of the "Victorious Fatherland Liberation War Museum" in Pyongyang, DPRK, there are several warbirds on display (MiG-15, Yak-3, Panther/Cougar wreck, etc) .

There are a couple wrecks that I can't ID...anyone help?

Randy I would say the second and last photo are most definately a Skyraider. The first photo might be one as well but I can't really tell for sure. The third link didn't pop up.

That prop is definately an Aeroproducts from a Skyraider. It can't be a Bearcat because none were in Korea and a French or Thai Bearcat crashing in North Korea just doesn't make sense.

Was there anything in the photos about the F-86 that bellied in and they made airworthy again? I think it might have ultimately ended up in Russia but I can't remember at the moment.

Yep, they are all Skyraiders or Skyraider engines.

Check out the latest issue of Classic Wings, they have an article about the museum with pics of the Corsairs,F9F,Skyraider,Yak-9P and LA-9.
