Inside Report (6)

January 30, 1981

So you thought the United States was just fighting the North Koreans and Chinese Communists back in the Korean war? An academic source with government connections, who requested that his identity not be disclosed, assures Inside Report that Soviet pilots and antiaircraft units were pitted against UN forces during that three- year war.

The Soviets themselves now talk openly about the fact that they were in Korea , this source says, adding that their involvement is discussed in their military writings and "they are quite proud of it."m
