Excellent History of a subject that was once top secret and unreported.By FredVery well written; the writer had access to resources that were previously unavailable; and also teaches at military staff collages.Was already aware that; in the Korean war; American Military personal were absolutely forbidden to talk about the known fact that Russian pilots were flying for North Korea; and the so-called superior kill ratio of American F-86 versus Mig-15 pilots was measured only on known North Korean pilots and Chinese pilots shot down; Russians kill ratios against American aircraft were ignored; and the actual kill ratio of Americans against Russians was much lower. It was all right to talk about the fact that Peoples Republic of China Pilots were flying for North Korea; but any mention that Russian pilots were also involved was strictly forbidden. While this book is also an excellent history of Chinese involvement in the war; I have focused on the Russian subject in this review.Every known Russian kill was either ignored; or attributed to "accident"; "missing"; or otherwise "didn't happen".All of the Russian pilots originally employed against Americans were successful combat pilots from World War II; who had extensive World War II kill recordsThe Russian's talked on GCI (Ground Control Intercept) radio circuits in Russian; and this was well known at the time; but as above mentioned; it was strictly forbidden to report or talk about.An excellent book. Very well researched; with extensive appendixes; notes and bibliography in the back of it.For other excellent books on this subject; also available on see:"The Last War of The Superfortresses" Mig-15 VS B-29 Over Korea. Leonid Krylov Yuriy Tepsurkaevand "Soviet Mig-15 Aces of the Korean War" by the same Authors listed for the above book0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. I like the book; do you have a Chinese version?By lanyi zhangThis year is the 60th anniversary of the Korean War; and I want to know that history. This book reviewed the past based on fact and research; that's why I like it. One mistake I found is the page 160 is missing. By the way; do you have a Chinese version? Where can I buy a Chinese version?Thanks1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
