FURY FROM THE NORTH:
THE NORTH KOREAN AIR FORCE IN THE KOREAN WAR
By Douglas C. Dildy
It was almost 1500 hours, on 25
June 1950, when nine Yakovlev Yak-9P fighters of the Korean
People’s Air Force (KPAF) simultaneously attacked
Seoul International Airport and the Kimpo Airfield outside
Seoul, the capital of South Korea. The Yaks shot up ground
installations and strafed a Douglas C-54 transports of the
US Air Force involved in evacuation of US citizens from the
war-stricken country. The Yaks returned to finish off the
C-54 at around 1900 hours. Thus began the aerial component
of the Korean War. The story of KPAF’s coming into being and
its involvement in the Korean War remain mostly unknown
until now.

An illustrated account of the autumn 1943 battle for the
Dodecanese, as Winston Churchill attempted to secure the
Aegean islands in the wake of the Italian armistice. The
occupation was a gamble intended to increase pressure
against Germany and at the same time provide encouragement
for Turkey to join the Allies. Spearheaded by the Special
Boat Squadron and the Long Range Desert Group, garrison
troops were deployed to the Italian-occupied Dodecanese, but
they were too late to prevent the Germans from taking
control of the key island of Rhodes and its all-important
airfields. An all-out German offensive followed. Air force
and naval units supported a series of assaults by infantry
and paratroopers, including specialist forces of the
Division Brandenburg. Within three months, only Castelorizzo
was still in British hands. Rhodes, Kos and Leros remained
under German occupation until May 1945 and the end of the
war in Europe.

This is the most complete study of the role of Panzers in
the Battle of Berlin. The book is lavishly illustrated with
360 mostly unpublished photographs that take the reader from
the retreat at Seelow to collecting wrecks from central
Berlin. Years of painstaking research and a network of
like-minded researchers from across the globe have enabled
the authors to piece together the who, where and why,
including lists of wrecks documented by the military
government in the immediate post-war period. In addition to
informative text and hundreds of photos, many pages include
a QR code enabling readers to point a smartphone camera at
the code to show the scene today, while a separate map shows
Berlin as it was in 1945 and plots the locations of the
wrecks. To complete the coverage, acclaimed military artist
Felipe Rodna has created sixteen pages of
specially-commissioned artwork. The book is also
co-authored by Mario Lippert
