Some may have seen this collection or pieces of it, but I had not. There are some fantastic photos in here.

Well, yes, Pilot, I'm sure you are right, but, there are some amazing photos there.

A sad ending to the F4U-5N of the only night fighter ace in Korea! Then there's McConnell's "Beauteous Butch" on two different a/c, one with 6 kills and then his final one with 15. The F-80P with its two-tone camou and that weird B-26 Invader--haven't figured that out yet! The F-82s were nice. One of them looks like it might be the one that shot down Yaks over Kimpo covering the evacuation in September. I love the F-84Es and Gs. All too soon we forget what a contribution they made.

You are right, images are amazing and nice to see them all on one place. What I miss is similar subject from other side...
