Book excerpt: F-86E Sabre vs. Russian MiG-15 Some Korean Air-to-Air War Tales Revisited By: Lt. Colonel Joseph R. Clark Since the Korean War ended in 1953, several books and articles have been published about the air-to-air battles between the American F-86s and Russian MiGs in the skies over North Korea and China. Some parts of some of the stories that appear in those publications are true, but many of them contain fantasies, exaggerations, and lies that are both preposterous and demeaning to the Air Force. Unfortunately, much of what survives in the west as the history of those epic air battles is found in those partially flawed publications.
