Gun camera footage from Captain Ralph Parr in an F-86 Sabre as he scores the final and possibly most controversial aerial victory of the Korean War F-86 Sabre gun camera compilation: Shortly after noon on July 27th 1953, U.S. Air Force Captain Ralph S. Parr Jr. with the 335th Fighter Interceptor Squadron of the 4th Fighter Interceptor Wing was flying an escort mission near Chunggang-jin is his F-86F Sabre (51-12959) when spotted an unidentified transport aircraft traveling unescorted. Parr reportedly made several passes and identified the plane as a North Korean Ilyushin Il-12. Although later that same day the newly signed armistice was to bring an end to hostilities in the Korean War, he decided to attack the aircraft regardless. A long burst from his battery of six .50 caliber machine guns with a combined rate of fire of over 100 rounds per second ripped through the Ilyushin and brought it down in flames. It would later transpire that the aircraft he targeted was in fact a Soviet Navy transport traveling through North Korean airspace from Port Arthur to Vladivostok. The plane came down on Chinese soil four kilometers from Mao-erh-shan and all 21 people on board, six crew and fifteen passengers, were killed. Judging by the concentration of fire on the fuselage visible in the gun camera footage, it's likely many were dead before the Ilyusin hit the ground. There are suggestions that even if the legitimacy and timing of the act was questionable, Parr was keen to make the kill as he already had nine victories under his belt and needed one more to achieve the status of double ace. Some Russian sources suggest an even more sinister motive, that the aircraft was deliberately targeted either because it was suspected that an important prisoner of war was being transferred to the Soviet Union or because the aircraft was supposed to be carrying top officials of the Soviet Pacific Fleet. A monument to commemorate the event was erected in Vladivostok.
