They were the first pilots in New China. 1March 952, the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea entered a critical stage, and air power was urgently needed to defend the rear and support ground operations. Just one year and three months after its establishment, a division of the Air Force where Liu Zhuanqi was located was ordered to go to the Korean battlefield.
During the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, Liu Zhuanqi's Air Force Division shot down or injured 67 enemy planes, and achieved the best performance ratio of our Air Force in destroying 1 plane and shooting down or injuring 2.2 enemy planes, creating a brilliant record of the third performance and the first performance ratio of the whole air force. When commenting on the division's entry into the DPRK, General Nie Fengzhi, commander of the Volunteer Air Force at that time, said: They attacked the enemy like an iron fist and won. After the war, this army with glorious tradition summarized this "air iron fist spirit" as "iron fist-like cohesion, iron fist-like assault force and iron fist-like strike force" according to the requirements of building the army in the new era, so as to inspire generations of officers and men.
