Cover Notes

Air War Korea is a story of men and courage - of World War II veterans, many of them already aces,
volunteering for combat duty in the cockpit of a jet and proving their worth day after day in the statosphere against the cream of Russia's fighter planes. It is the story of the men who flew the United
Nations' 'workhorses' - the Thunderjets, Shooting Stars, Panthers, Cosairs and Skyraiders that turned
North Korea into an economic desert, the B-29 crew who sacrificed themselves in MiG Alley during the first year of the war, and of the Meteor pilots of No 77 Squadron RAAF, whose first encounters with the MiG-15 proved disastrous. Robert Jackson captures the story of cold ruthless skill that turned
thirty-year-old fighter aces from the prison era into jet aces of the new age.

Reviews

enthralling stuff!an amazingly frank account,the success of this mission is a testament to the initiative of RAF sevice men and women who pulled this off.I have more than a passing intrest in the vulcan and the attention to the detail of the planes in this book really brought this old plane back to life.Good luck to XH558 restoration team aswell!

Just bought this book and read it in a couple of days; I couldn't put it down. It never ceases to amaze me how the dedication of our armed forces overcomes the stupidity and penny pinching of their political masters. Unmissable, you must buy this book.
