Fighter Aviation Squadron (MiG-15) - total around 43 aircraftAll designations are supposition based on what few facts are available on the KPAF. First five regiments were known as "1st Aviation Division" according to some sources. Regimental designations are unknown. MiG units were withheld from combat by Kim Il-Sung from late 1952 on until near the end of the war, and may never have flown combat as unitary formations of Korean pilots and aircraft. A total of around 125 MiG-15 aircraft were known to be in Korean hands at the end of the war.
