That paper must have meant B-25's, the korean war ended in 1953 with the armistice. The B-52's first flight wasn't until 1955.

Yeah , you are right about the B-52 but I'm not sure about the B-25 being used in Korea, the B-29,47 and 50 were used according to this web site, which to my way of thinking would be a good match for that machine
