Despite prolonged training, the KPAF bomber force equipped with Tu-2s saw very little action; by the time it was operational in October 1952, its Tu-2s were being replaced by jet-powered Il-28s. Consequently, little is known about KPAF Tu-2 camouflage or markings. This example is one of several Tu-2s preserved at China’s Datangshan Aviation Museum, representing PLAAF Tu-2s used by the 1st United Air Army during the Pansŏng Island campaign in November 1951; KPAF Tu-2s probably looked very much like this Chinese example.
