Sinopsis

Since the Korean War ended in 1953, a number of books and articles have been written about the air-to-air battles between the American F-86s and Russian MiGs. Some parts of the stories that appear in those publications are probably true, but many of them contain fantasies, exaggerations and even lies that are áboth preposterous and demeaning to the Air Force. Unfortunately much of what survives in the West as the history of those epic air battles is found in those partially flawed publications. I was in a position to know what was going on there since I spent a year observing the scene as an F-86 pilot fighting the MiGs with the 51st Fighter Wing. áI have written this book because áI want to leave history a more complete and honest picture of what went on there. I áhave been retired for more than fifty years, but my love for the Air Force and loathing for anything that reflects áshame or dishonor on that ágreat organization has compelled me to act. Feeling the way I do, áwriting in an effort to correct and enhance the record is an easy task since I enjoy writing áand was reared to place real value in truth, honor and integrity and hate ádishonesty, dissembling and deceit.
