Korea - Krieg der Strahlflugzeuge 1950-53

The Korean War was the first major proxy war between East and West and the first conflict to pit jet aircraft against each other. Just a few years earlier, aircraft with piston engines had dominated the skies, but jet fighters were now flying into the stratosphere. Legendary US models met their Soviet opponents and often only the skill of the pilots decided between victory and defeat. In this volume, the author sheds light on the political circumstances in and around the Korean War and presents the aircraft and pilots involved in detail. An exciting contemporary document about a conflict that still has repercussions today.
