The Korean War was the first major proxy war between East and West and the first conflict to pit jet aircraft against each other. Whereas just a few years earlier piston-powered aircraft had dominated the skies, jet fighters now soared into the stratosphere. Legendary US designs met their Soviet opponents and often only the skill of the pilots decided victory or defeat. In this volume, the author illuminates the political circumstances in and around the Korean War and presents a detailed account of the aircraft and pilots involved.
An exciting contemporary document about a conflict that continues to have repercussions to this day.
