The beginning The Air Force has its roots in the Air Force Foundation Committee, formed in 1943 to train Korean pilots in China for the war against Japan. Shortly after the war, the first South Korean military aircraft included former Japanese types such as the Ki-86 Cypress and Ki-9 Spruce. In August 1946 all aviation related organisations were concentrated in the Korean Aviation Establishment Committee. In May 1948 the US helped form an aviation element under the control of the Ministry of Defence, equipped with the L-4 and L-5. On January 14, 1949 the Aviation Academy was established at Gimpo (then known as Kimpo).

Under pressure of Chinese and Japanese pilots, the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF), or Han Guk Gong Gun was separated from the South Korean Army on October 1, 1949 on a personal initiative of President Syng-Man Rhee. This was deemed essential in order to preserve the unique identity of pilots during a power struggle within the Army. General Kim Chung Yul became the first ROKAF Chief of Staff with 400 officers and 1500 enlisted men under his command. Eight Piper L-4s, four Stinson L-5s and ten Noorduyn T-6 Harvards were obtained from US depots in Japan, the latter being taken on charge at Yoido Air Base in May 1950 as "National Foundation Aircraft".

War

The strained relationship with its communist neighbour exploded into war on June 25, 1950 when North Korean troops invaded the South, and most of the ROKAF equipment was destroyed by Yak's in a single air raid on Seoul Municipal Airport, leaving only three fly worthy Harvards. Ten F-51 Mustangs were transferred as emergency aid by US President Truman, flying their first combat mission on August 6, 1950. In order to train the ROKAF pilots on their new mounts, the 6146 Base Unit (BASUT) was established with USAF instructor pilots. On August 1, 1951 the ROKAF formed its first operational F-51D unit, the 1 FW at Sachon. On July 27, 1953 an uneasy cease-fire went into effect, and until the present day both countries remain technically at war and are only separated by the Demilitarised Zone (DMZ).

Expansion

Shortly after the war pilot training was performed on the Cessna L-19, Ryan L-17 Navion and T-6 Harvard. An expansion program was started in 1955 and on 20 June the first of over 130 F-86Fs and twelve RF-86Fs was transferred to the ROKAF. These F-86Fs replaced the Mustangs with the 10 FW at Gimpo and formed the 101 FS, 102 FS and 103 FS. In 1958 the 11 FW/111 FS and 112 FS were also formed at Gimpo on the F-86F. In August 1955 the T-33 entered service and at least 65 were received. That same month additional AT-6D/Fs started arriving with more LT-6Gs following in 1958, eventually bringing the total number of Harvards received to over 70. In May 1955 the C-46 started to arrive and a total of 28 were delivered until 1968. The last of over 200 R/T/F-51D Mustangs was phased out in 1957. In December 1961 the 10 FW/108 FS and 109 FS became operational at Suwon on the all-weather F-86D of which at least 50 had been received.

Early helicopters were the two UH-19Ds delivered in April 1958 for SAR duties, years later followed by five HH-19Bs. Pilot training got a boost when on December 20, 1960 the T-28 Trojan was taken on charge, with a total of 34 delivered. On April 30, 1965 a new fighter entered the inventory as the 10 FW/105 FS at Suwon received the first F-5A/Bs. A total of 88 F-5As en 19 F-5Bs were received between 1965 and 1972, and at least nine RF-5As from 1972. On January 23, 1968 the spy ship USS Pueblo and her 82 sailors were captured by North Vietnam, and that same high-tension year South Korea ordered a batch of eighteen F-4Ds. On August 25, 1969 the first six F-4Ds destined for the 11 FW/151 FS at Daegu arrived in Seoul. Late 1972 under US program Enhance Plus a total of 36 F-5As were transferred to South Vietnam. Some of these returned a few years later after the fall of Saigon, as part of a transfer of nineteen ex-VNAF F-5As. In turn the 11 FW/110 FS at Daegu received eighteen ex-3 TFW F-4Ds, first on loan but they were transferred to the ROKAF in 1975.

1974 was a busy year for the ROKAF. An additional sixteen F-5B's were delivered that year, in September fourteen O-2A FAC's were received and from November 1974 the more modern F-5E (126 received) and F-5F (20 received) came into service forming some ten squadrons. In 1975 some twenty T-41Bs went to the Air Force Academy. From September 1977 a total of 37 new F-4Es were received under program Peace Pheasant II, and they formed the 11 FW/152 FS at Daegu, followed by the 153 FS at Cheongju where these squadrons formed the 17 FW in June 1979. Not only new fighters were introduced, in August 1973 the venerable C-123 Provider entered service replacing the C-46 and at least fifteen C-123J/K were received between 1973 and 1977. They served next to another old lady, the Skymaster of which some seventeen C-54D/E/G models were active from early 1965. In June 1975 three EC-47Qs came into service, but they may have been withdrawn from use in 1978. In June 1973 the first of 26 new T-37Cs greatly enhanced ROKAF pilot training, followed in 1982 by 42 ex Brazilian machines. At least 28 ex-VNAF A-37Bs were received from October 1976.
