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.
