South Koreas first warplane was the F-51D Mustang operated by the ROKAFs (Republic of Korea Air Forces) 51st Provisional Squadron. ROKAF fighter pilots were trained by Maj. Dean Hess. One of the first ten Truman Gift F-51Ds for South Korea, this Mustang appears as it would have at Taegu Air Base, also known as K-2, in July 1950. In Korea, the number 4 is considered bad luck, while the number 13 on this aircraft bears no such stigma.
