Originally the KPAF received 12 old Yak-9s and 42 newer Yak-9Ps; these were issued to the 56th FAR at P’yongyang’s Heijo AB. Two of the regiment’s three battalions (squadrons) were still in training when Kim Il-Sung started the Korean War. All examples were painted in air superiority grey overall, with national markings (the size and placement of which varied from aircraft to aircraft) in six positions and ‘tail numbers’ applied in differing fonts in black on the fin.
