In November 1952, the KPAF’s newly-established 4th Aviation Division received at least 42 new Il-28s at Kungchuling (now Gongzhuling), PRC, 39 of which were still operational at the end of the war. As far as is known, all were left in their ‘bare metal overall’ paint scheme (as described previously). While their ‘tail numbers’ were eventually moved to the nose, they were initially carried the on the fin; national insignia were applied at least on the rear fuselage and, later on, were also applied to top and bottom wing surfaces.
