IPMSUpdates Posted February 24, 2025 Report Posted February 24, 2025 Another offering in the Asia @ War Series A very interesting book. We see the Korean Air War through the eyes of Soviet Aviators sent to get combat experience in jet fighters. The first couple of pages were rough. I felt like I was reading a 1980’s era Soviet Propaganda piece. The authors quickly left that track and started a very good overview of the events leading up to Russia’s involvement, and an unknown (to me) discussion on China warning the United States prior to entering the war. The B-29’s were initially engaged by prop-driven aircraft and were able to successfully defend themselves. This led to over confidence on the part of the Air Force leadership, and a belief that the bombers could defend themselves from fighters. View the full review
