No Need to Speak -- Clasped hands moved at an angle mean "air force" in any language, as these captured North Korean prisoners demonstrate to an interrogator, Capt Julean Marcinkowski of Anna, IL. The prisoners explained they deserted communist forces after only 10 days service because of the stories they heard of the power of U.S. Far East Air Forces. The two prisoners in the foreground are Lee Guk Ho of Hackpo, a soldier with the Second Division of the Communist Army and Ho Uk Chin of Heiyon, North Korea, also a member of the Second Division. The pair told UN interrogators they had been issued no weapons, given no uniforms and at no time received more than one meal a day.
