Description

The first virtually all-jet war; the conflict in Korea saw F-86 Sabres of the USAF take on MiG-15s of the North Korean and Chinese air forces. Although the Allied pilots were initially taken aback by the ability of the communist fighter in combat; sound training and skilful leadership soon enabled Sabre pilots to dominate the dogfights over the Yalu River. In all 39 F-86 pilots achieved ace status; and a number of these are profiled in this volume; as are notable pilots from the US Navy; Marine Corps and Royal Navy and; for the first time; the handful of MiG-15 aces.
