F-86E-10 51-2789 flown by Col Walker M.Mahurin(4th FIW, 336th FIS) was shot by AAA in a fighter-bomber mission against a rail marshalling yard. Mahurin was too low to eject and he made a belly landing. After crash-landing, breaking his arm, he was captured by enemy forces and POW. After Soviet sources, his wrecked F-86 was brought to Antung, it was studied by the pilots of the 64th IAK and later it was delivered to one of the research institutes near Moscow.Mahurin was released in September 1953, well after the war's end, and promoted to full colonel.
