One of my earliest memories is radio broadcasts during the Korean war, er, police action. I have no idea why it stuck in my mind since I certainly didn't comprehend the situation. Anyway, every day they would announce how many MiG-15s had been shot down over MiG Alley. It probably totaled to more MiGs than were in the conflict but it served the purpose of showing the vast superiority of the F-86 over the barely airworthy MiG. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/the-jet-that-shocked- the-west-180947758/ Of course I only figured it out in retrospect. Cheers to Attlee for giving the Rolls-Royce engines to the Soviets. They were more advanced than the BMW engines used in the MiG-9. However the Messerschmitt 262 design found its way into the MiG-15 and F-86 DNA. I was older and more cynical when a lone gunman killed Kennedy and Loathsome B Johnson lied us into the Vietnam fiasco to say nothing of the immigration reform and civil rights that got us to where we are.
