Review (PDF) Korean War Aces: 004 (Aircraft Of The Aces)
The first virtually all-jet war, the conflict in Korea saw F-86 Sabres of the USAF take on MiG-15s of the North Korean and Chinese air forces. Although the Allied pilots were initially taken aback by the ability of the communist fighter in combat, sound training and skilful leadership soon enabled Sabre pilots to dominate the dogfights over the Yalu River. In all 39 F-86 pilots achieved ace status, and a number of these are profiled in this volume, as are notable pilots from the US Navy, Marine Corps and Royal Navy and, for the first time, the handful of MiG-15 aces.

This is a book Osprey needed to make and Robert Dorr did a great job. It has information on American and Soviet Aces. The book talks about famous aircraft, like the Mustang, Corsair, Mig 15, and Sabre. The info on Soviet aces was a nice surprise. The facts about British, South African, and Australian aces were an extra bonus. I only wish the book had given info on North Korean and Chinese aces.
My 86 year old Father said he didn't want anything for Christmas but he sure was glad when he opened his gift and seen this book. He served with some of these pilots and he spent the day telling war stories. Thanks for making his day!
This is a historically accurate portrayal of our heroes of the Korean War, and is a good read. It is especially good for historians.
Excellent overall coverage of Allied Korean War aces. Good color plates, and well written commentary and anecdotal narrative.
