As the routed North Korean Peoples Army (NKPA) withdrew into the mountainous reaches of their country and the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) funneled in its massive infantry formations in preparation for a momentous counter-offensive, both lacked adequate air power to challenge US and UN. Reluctantly, Josef Stalin agreed to provide the requisite air cover, introducing the superior swept-wing MiG-15 to counter the Americans straight-wing F-80 jets. This in turn prompted the USAF to deploy its very best the F-86A Sabre to counter this threat. Thus began a two-and-a-half-year struggle in the skies known as MiG Alley. In this period, the unrelenting campaign for aerial superiority witnessed the introduction of successive models of these two revolutionary jets into combat. This meticulously researched study not only provides technical descriptions of the two types and their improved variants, complete with a fighter pilots assessment of these aircraft, but also chronicles the entire scope of their aerial duel in MiG Alley by employing the recollections of the surviving combatants including Russian, Chinese, and North Korean pilots who participated.

  1. Bortsett från att ni publicerar fel omslagsbild ovan,...
    Kurt Jillheden (Nacka), 3 juni 2013

    Bortsett från att ni publicerar fel omslagsbild ovan, ger boken en ganska lagom omfattande beskrivning av flygkkriget i Korea 1950-53. Även motståndarnas insatser ägnas utrymme, vilket är glädjande. Sergei Kramarenko t ex har jag stiftat bekantskap med redan tidigare, genom hans memoarer från ostfronten under VK 2 samt Korea-kriget.

Recensioner i media

"Benefiting from newly acquired information from the Russian and Chinese camps, jet age experts Douglas Dildy and Warren Thompson provide an unprecedented comparison of the performance, strengths and weaknesses of the two fighters and the pilots who flew them ... Students of the early jet age should find F-86 Sabre vs MiG-15 an essential addition to Osprey's 'Duel' Series." --Aviation Hitsory (March 2014) "Technical and tactical information about these two classic fighters combine with analysis of their performance in action." --Military Heritage magazine "Finally, two respected American air historians have taken all of the available sources in hand to attempt to present an honest assessment of the air war and how it was actually fought. As a result, and as Doug Dildy is a retired fighter pilot who grew up during the Cold War and was trained based on results of Korea, they have presented a great description of what it was actually like to fly and fight in an F-86 Sabre or MiG-15 in Korea ... The book is clearly written in easy-to-understand terms and does a great job of using examples and facts to show how air combat was conducted ... Overall, if you have any interest in Korean War air combat this book is a great place to start or simply add to your knowledge." --Cookie Sewell, www.cybermodeler.com "... a great read and is one of the better volumes in this series. One that I can quite easily recommend to you." --Scott Van aken, www.modelingmadness.com
