In this June 23, 1952, file photo, Navy carrier airborne attack aircraft F4 Corsairs fly over the U.S. carrier USS Boxer, which takes part in a campaign with Air Force and Marine planes to knock out five major Communist hydroelectric plants in the biggest air raid of the Korean War. Thomas Hudner, now a retired U.S. Navy captain, heads to Pyongyang on Saturday with hopes of traveling in the coming week to the region known in North Korea as the Jangjin Reservoir, accompanied by soldiers from the Korean People's Army, to the spot where the Navy's first black pilot, Ensign Jesse Brown, died in December 1950. The reservoir was the site of one of the Korean War's deadliest battles for Americans, who knew the place by its Japanese name, Chosin. The snowy mountain region was nicknamed the "Frozen Chosin," and survivors are known in U.S. history books as the "Chosin Few."
