Description
US Army Sikorsy H19 (right) and H5 (left) helicopters on prepared landing pads close to a hastily built building at Panmunjom during the signing of the truce on 27 July 1953. The H19 has the cowling over its front mounted engine opened for service and the H5 is a rescue version. This photograph is one of a series taken by the Australian Mr Douglas (Doug) Bushby in his capacity as a UN accredited War Correspondent. Mr Bushby devoted much of his time to relief and missionary work amongst Korean refugees, orphans and North Korean and Chinese prisoners of war.
