The entry of the United State's premier jet interceptor into the Korean War was triggered by the ever-increasing presence of the Soviet-built MiG-15 south of the Yalu River. The possibility of the USAF losing air supremacy over the Korean Peninsula was unacceptable. The 4th Fighter Wing got the call for combat in Korea. They were made up of a combination of new pilots right out of jet training and the older combat veterans of World War II vintage. This combination of pilot types wrote and re-wrote the text books on jet warfare. Of the 40 jet aces that the war produced; the 4th Wing boasted 24 of them. They also were the dominating MiG killer outfit with the USAF.

BeckerNever understood how Mary Queen of Scots was so important and misunderstood. The religious history is so tangled. This book makes it possible to understand how the condemnation of the Knights Templar by Philip the Fair was simply Philips problem. There are portions of the catholic church and Knights Templar exploring for the "Promised Land". The book provides insight and events that are important and otherwise difficult to provide context. It is this portion of this document that makes it so valuable.5 of 5 people found the following review helpful. Not a good buy!By N. MCGREGOR EDWARDSI found this book hard going and very disappointing - it is poorly written; disorganised and with a very disjointed style and ideas appearing almost from nowhere with little or no supporting evidence or reference. I kept thinking 'Oh; where did that come from - did I miss something?'. It is difficult and frustrating to follow - even for me with quite a good knowledge of 'Grailology' and of the literature on the Templars. The author has a family link with Rosslyn and I expected a better book than this - it does nothing to enhance the Sinclair name. My copy is now going to a charity shop!
