South Korean Air Force?

Just a quick one…(ooo-err!)

What aircraft did the South Korean Air Force have on its books at the start of the Korean War?

I have seen it described as a couple of attack aircraft, or a few old trainers – but nothing specific.

There was a US training team with some P-51s, plus (presumably) lighter training and support types such as the T-6. The book (and film) Battle Hymn by Dean Hess describes their operations.
