Here's a rare look at the RB-29 mission over Korea, as told by pilot Dave Flaming, on the Airailimages Channel: ruclips.net/video/ELRcib8c6uQ/видео.html
My father was a USMC aviator with VMF (N) 542, tail code WH, and VMF (N) 513 and tail code WF, flew the F7F Tigercat stationed at Kimpo. Nice to see these images.
Thanks again Mr Johnsen for more Korean archive footage. Truly a forgotten conflict. We see so little about it. But those who served and died there endured great hardships indeed. As always God bless you and yours and thanks again for everything you do! God bless the USA!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Interesting, my father was at Kimpo during this period with the 21st Troop Carrier Squadron (USAF). I have a picture of one of the F7F's that has cables imbedded in the wings and wrapped around one engine, he chased "Bed Check Charlie" into a valley and flew into cables the N Koreans had stretched across in order to knock down the night fighter......needless to say, they made it back. Dad said the crew were kissing the ground when they climbed out of that beat up bird!

Thank you for watching and commenting. It's good to hear from the families of veterans who served when these films were made.
I like that you take the time to research the archives for these films. Thanks
You are very welcome. It is an ongoing treasure hunt; lots of dead-ends, but the good stuff is worth it.
