Description

William T. Y’Blood (au). Discusses the fight for air superiority from the first day of the Korean War through the armistice 3 years later. Once the shock of the N. Koreans’ invasion wore off, it did not take long for the U.S. Air Force, assisted by other UN air forces, to destroy the N. Korean Air Force. The arrival of the MiG-15 in Nov. 1950, often flown by Soviet pilots, changed things considerably however. For the remainder of the war, bitterly contested air battles were fought almost daily. Yet despite a decided numerical superiority in jet fighters, the Communists were never able to gain air superiority, testament to the skill & training of the UN fighter pilots, primarily those U.S. Air Force airmen flying the F-86. Also includes a list of the U.S. Korean War Aces. Photos.
