MiG-15 and F-86 Sabre!

About the spelling, finally someone bothers looking up facts and not just talk aimlessly. Yet, the whole subject sucks for those who did their homework and are looking for aviation-topics, not just any garbage that pops up in bored hormonally frustrated minds.

Now, I think that was the 'correct' answer for this thread...but lets keep on talking about the Korean War planes, tactics etc here...

This topic would not be worth even beginning without some relevant information on the Soviet side. I found a few, one I recommend is the Russian Aviation Pages (R.A.P.), with the whole list of the Russian aces, MIA-s, POW etc. and the airfields/units.
Not Korean and not aviation, but war and Far-East news:
A former Viet-Cong soldier (now 60 years old) just had an old M-16 rifle-bullet removed from his heart. (Art of War website report)
Doctors tried it a few times, but only now-not the least due to modern surgical methods and equipments did they succeed, or dared to continue to completion. Yep, this is war too, and it aint fun and games as many supposes so.
