The polished area is to help the pilot see if the nose gear is down and locked.

Have confidence. It is the same, the differences are all attributable to later development in the last half-century.
Good thread.

So you can see if your gear are down.

Same locations in the two pics, good call Holedigger. I've drawn on some of the main matching features, and one main post-photo development. There's nothing there that can't be explained by development.

Here we go again.
None of these scans have been enhanced,just raw so some may be dark and hard to see.
Remember he is trying to set exposure and focus while flying a Panther.
I think I know what these are showing.
Anybody guessing?

If my history serves me, I don't think we were on good terms with China at that time.

Credit to Holedigger for the location, I just had a look at the pics!
Great stuff, I liked the great wall - presumably the great wall?

Some portions of the "Great Wall of China" System from the Han, Qin and older Dynasties, do cross the Yalu River up in the North West corner of North Korea, so that is a very real possibility it is one of those portions.
