3:46 - Captain Ralph Parr scores the final and most controversial aerial victory of the Korean War on July 27th 1953 shooting down a Soviet Navy Ilyushin Il-12 transport aircraft shortly before the newly signed armistice that ended hostilities was supposed to come into force. The Ilyushin came down on Chinese soil 4 km from Mao-erh-shan and all 21 people on board (six crew and fifteen passengers) were killed. There are suggestions that Parr shot down the aircraft because he was already had nine victories under his belt and needed one more to achieve the status of double ace. Russian sources suggest an even more sinister motive, that the aircraft was deliberately targeted either because it was suspected that an important prisoner of war was being transferred to the Soviet Union or because the aircraft was supposed to be carrying top officials of the Soviet Pacific Fleet.
