Has anyone a link or ideas for aerial action in the Korean War? I've found less than ten volumes, including the USAF Official History – surely there are more out there? I'll list the ones I have later this week – it's time for dinner! :) Thanks in advance! |

You could also try the Osprey Aces series and Skirmish Campaign's Check Your 6 Jet Age Korean war scenario book which uses actual combat actions for each scenario. |
