to Between 24 April and 3 May, 1953, no air activity was observed at Wiener Neustadt
(0 48/X 34) airfield. Between 9 a.m? and 11 a.m. on 3 May, the following aircraft were
observed at the fields 27 MiG-15s,, 9.twin.jet planes, 5 single-engine low-wing
monoplanes with radial engines, two-bladed propellers, long cabin roofs between the
wings, retractable landing gears with single wheels at the shock-absorbing struts,
single rudder assemblies and rounded wing tips, and 10 twin-engine planes with double
rudder assemblies in front of the hangars on the east edge of the pyrotechnic plant4
Of the MIG.15a 23 were covered with tarpaulins and parked on the dispersal area between
the airfield and the Woelleredorfer Strasse railroad stop, while the remaining 4 were
parked west of the road sign on Badener Strasse0

whose occupation apparently was unchanged. No change was observed at the radio 25X1 C
installationo.The Nachrichten Kaserne which apparently was slightly occupied was
guarded by soldiers wearing black-bordered blue epaulets. Six motor vehicles
25X1 C including tank truck
were parked in the barracks yard,

C9arM2nte. Wiener Noustadt airfield was previously occupied by two fighter
regiments. The Il-28s observed at the field since some time may be the bomber
regiment which was possibly transferred from Zwoelfaxing to Wiener Neustadt0 This
bomber regiment, formerly equipped with Pe-2s, was possibly :re-equipped with Il-28sn.
The old tdin-engine planes with double rudder assazbl.ies, probably Pe-?2s$ which were
observed for the first time in Wiener Neustadt in early April 1953 possibly represent
the remainder of the old equipment of this bomber regiment. No 'definite conclusions
can be drawn from the fact that 27 MiG-15s were mentioned in the present report while
63 MiG>15a were observed on 21 and 22 April 1953.
