Summary
DescriptionMiG-15s curving to attack B-29s over Korea c1951.jpg | Three Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 fighters curving in to attack U.S. Air Force Boeing B-29 Superfortress bombers over Korea in April 1951. This mission was assigned to the elite of the Soviet Air Force (VVS), in April 1951 to the 324th IAD of Colonel Ivan Kozhedub, the World War II Allied "Ace of Aces", and later to the 303rd IAD of General Georgiy A. Lobov, who arrived in Korea in June of that same year. The ensuing losses forced the USAF to use the B-29s only in night bombings after October 1951. |
