Mustangs Over Korea is a documentary history of one of the most famous fighters ever built during a historically almost unrecognized war. Flown by four air forces in support of the United Nations; the F-51 Mustang dropped more napalm and fired more rockets than any other aircraft during that conflict and in the process suffered the highest number of losses. Told is the story of the bravery of the fighter-bomber pilots in the serious air-to-mud war against horrendous anti-aircraft fire; and also the first swirling air battles against the vaunted MiG-15.

Claire Chennault and the story of the Flying Tigers. He and his pilots were true heroes in every sense of the word. The book points out in detail that Gen. Chennault was not only fighting the Japanese but also the Dept. of Defense back home and Gen. Stillwell in Burma for airplanes; supplies and pilots. It makes you wonder which was the bigger battle. Unfortunately; most of the younger generation are completely unaware of the Flying Tigers and the American Volunteer Pilots who achieved outstanding success against overwhelming odds.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy RonWe need more men today like Chennault!!!!! He told things like it was! And then he did it!!!!!!!!!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Very Complete and EntertainingBy Dr. KnowA very detailed account of the AVG. The politics between the military and Washington during WWII are shown from both perspectives. An excellent book about a great man. At times it can slow you down with numbers and military abbreviations (easily forgiven with vivid first hand accounts). It would be a very good reference book.
