Mckelvey Cleaver Thomas - Mig Alley The Us Air Force In Korea 1950 53 - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: Titled after the wartime nickname for the part of North Korea that was the epicentre of a bitter struggle for air superiority over the Korean Peninsula Mi G Alley offers an in - depth analysis of the US Air Force's war in Korea packed with interesting and exciting personal stories based on first - person testimony from both American and Soviet sources. Following the end of the Korean War the prevailing myth in the West was that of the absolute supremacy of US Air Force pilots and aircraft over their Soviet - supplied opponents. The claims of the 10:1 victory - loss ratio achieved by the US Air Force fighter pilots flying the North American F - 86 Sabre against their communist adversaries among other such fabrications went unchallenged until the end of the Cold War when Soviet records of the conflict were finally opened. Packed with first - hand accounts and covering the full range of US Air Force activities over Korea Mi G Alley brings the war vividly to life and the record is finally set straight on a number of popular fabrications. Thomas Mc Kelvey Cleaver expertly threads together US and Russian sources to reveal the complete story of this bitter struggle in the Eastern skies.
