Korean People's Air Force
The Korean People's Army Air Force, (Chosŏn'gŭl: 조선인민군 공군; Hanja: 朝鮮人民軍 空軍), is the appellation of the unified aviation forces of North Korea. The KPAF is the 2nd largest branch of the Korean People's Army comprising an estimated 110,000 personnel members.〔(North Korea Country Study ), pp. 18-19〕 It possesses 940 aircraft of different types; mostly of Soviet and Chinese origin. Its primary task is to defend North Korean airspace.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=KPAF )〕 When the People's Army was forged with Soviet assistance, the aviation unit became its air force branch on August 20, 1947. North Korea has celebrated August 20 as Air Force Foundation Day ever since.
==History==
Kim Il-sung set up the Aviation Association branches in Pyongyang, Sinuiju, Chongjin and other parts of the country in 1945. In December 1945 he merged them into the Aviation Association of Korea. The air force became a separate service in 1948. The KPAF incorporates much of the original Soviet air tactics, as well as North Korean experience from the UN bombings during the Korean War.
The KPAF has on occasion deployed abroad to assist fellow socialist states, with a North Korean flight of MiG-21s deploying to Bir Arida to help defend southern Egypt during the Yom Kippur War.
In 1990-91, North Korea activated four forward air bases near the DMZ.
