Mao Anying's sacrifice deeply saddened the chairman. In the skies over the Korean battlefield, not only American aircraft, but other countries have also sent air forces to participate in the war, and the murderer who caused the death of Comrade Mao Anying was a South African Air Force pilot.
Few people mentioned South Africa's name during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and the country's existence was not high. But the South African Air Force is even better than some European air force history. South Africa had a flying fleet in 1912, and by the time of World War II they had more than five hundred aircraft, typical of the world's air force powers.
In "The Korean War, the Undisclosed Truth" by U.S. intelligence officer Joseph Goulden, the Americans provided more than thirty million dollars of aid to South Africa throughout the Korean War, hoping that they would send troops to the war. But South Africa, perhaps taking into account the small amount of money, sent only out planes, allowing the pilots of the two squadrons to arrive at Johnson Air Base in Japan, with the planes provided by the Americans.
Originally, the Americans did not believe in the strength of these pilots, but only equipped them with some old aircraft. But who knew that these pilots were actually flying these old aircraft, and they were able to maneuver flexibly with Soviet pilots and volunteer pilots, which made the Americans feel that these people were really some treasures, so a large number of advanced fighters were distributed to them.
With advanced fighters, these pilots were even more overwhelmed. They began to carry out frequent air raids, and Mao Anying was sacrificed under their bombardment. On November 25, 1950, they flew three planes, led by Captain Lipovsky and two others named Lyctor and Odongdahl.
This Ripavsky had fought in the Second World War before, shot down three enemy planes, had great flying experience, knew that the volunteers had almost no air defense capabilities, and usually they drilled bomb shelters when they came, so he had a bad idea. When Mao Anying and his colleagues both entered the bomb shelter, the guy flew away like no one else.
As soon as they left, the volunteers thought they were just passing through and left the bomb shelter, at this time Mao Anying remembered that there were still some urgent documents in the headquarters, and when they went to get them, they just happened to encounter Riebevsky flying back with the plane and dropping incendiary bombs, and Mao Anying was honorably sacrificed.
The Korean War, The Untold Truth details the three executioners' experiences after returning to South Africa. Richter later became a civil aviation pilot, and in April 1954 he crashed, killing everyone on board and his own bones.
Ripawski also entered an airline, but was eventually fired by the airline for abusing a black passenger during the South African civil rights movement, which led to fierce opposition from the South African people, coupled with the poor operation of his airline.
After being fired, the idle Ripovsky contracted drug addiction. Because he was injured in the battlefield, leaving serious sequelae can only rely on drugs to temporarily relieve the pain, which eventually led to his economic collapse and he could only live on the street, and later was found dead next to the garbage heap, which is also a bad retribution.
As for the third executioner, Odongdar, he is not told in The Untold Truth of the Korean War. But we can also believe that this person will never have a good ending.
Published in 1970, The Korean War, The Untold Truth, the book tells the story of a large number of unheard-of secrets of the Korean War, which offended the George W. Bush administration because it revealed so many secrets that it banned the book for more than two decades, and the author himself was kicked out of the intelligence service.
