Not sure if we have talked about this site yet, but Pyswar.org has a very interesting collection of leaflets and their translations. Time line is from 1914 to 2005.

Did I miss it or does the site skip/omit the Vietnam War, I have some good examples that my father (BUFF Jockey) gave me showing B52's dropping, very similar to some of the Desert Storm versions?

I had a few North Korean ones that I picked up on the streets in South Korea in the mid-90s my first time there. Not sure where they are now, though. At the time I thought they were flyers for real estate, or info on a class reunion (it was a picture of "happy" citizens holding hands in front of a building featuring a portrait of a smiling man with thick-rimmed glasses). I kinda-sorta recognized the man in the pic as being Kim il Sung (which is was), but at the time I wasn't sure and so asked a Katusa what the flyer said. He looked at me like I had the plague and never answered me.
(This was back in the day when Southies were deadly paranoid and hateful of the evil North. Nowadays they're just as likely to march in the streets in favor of Dear Leader as they are to storm the gates of Yongsan.)

I have about 2,000 or so leaflets, mainly Korean War and Vietnam-era ones, including a fairly large assortment of ones used in Laos. Some examples attached below.
