Description

John R. Bruning, Jr.. The Korean War was a crossroads in military aviation history. In Korea’s unique combat environment, fascinating & significant battles took place that would profoundly affect the future of air warfare. It was the last hurrah for one generation of tactics & technology, & the proving ground for the next. This book examines in detail 20 of the most interesting aerial actions of the Korean War, including the first air rescue of a downed pilot, the Battle of Carlson’s Canyon, & some of the most spectacular MiG Alley sorties flown by the F-86 aces. More than exciting accounts of military missions, however, Crimson Sky is also about the people who flew them, about their experiences & emotions as they performed dangerous duty half a century ago. B&W photos.
