south korean response
At the onset of the Korean War, South Korea did not have a viable air force. What little it did have consisted of L-4 and L-5 single engine, two-place liaison aircraft plus two or three C-47s. Volunteers for flight training were quickly selected and sent to the United States for training. The first group, now qualified in flying F-51 fighters, returned in late 1951 and were formed into a squadron which was deployed to K-18, Kangnung on South Korea’s east coast. More F-51 squadrons were formed in 1952 and 1953.
South Korea was the most injured country of the time. North Korean and Chinese forces had invaded South Korea. North Korea had launched a surprise attack on South Korea and they had no choice but to let them invade. Families were devastated and they were starving and dying of diseases.

implications
South Korea was the most 'beat-up' country of the time because it was mostly a war between the two Koreas.
