Marine F7F Tigercats and F4U-5N Corsairs at Kimpo, South Korea 1950 National Archives Airailimages

It's October 15, 1950, just a few months into the Korean War at Kimpo airfield, near Seoul, South Korea. The Marines are flying F4U-5N night fighter Corsairs and twin-engine F7F Tigercats. An Air Force C-54 lands at Kimpo between Corsair operations. This raw footage, made by Fleet Air Photo Unit VU-7, gives a look around the Kimpo airfield. There's a parked amphibious Martin PBM-5A Mariner seaplane, and rows of tents. It appears that derelict Soviet-built North Korean tanks litter the shoulder of a road on base. At the very end, is a new Corsair arrival getting its tail masked to apply the WF tail code? You are watching the Airailimages Channel.
