Hello Frank,

Thank you very much for this information. Does the first book contain any loss data?

Hello Alex,

As James wrote about the FAA in the first post, "They lost a lot more aircraft and aircrew than what were documented in Korwald". The authors of the Osprey duel book about the Sabre and MiG-15 also criticise Korwald, in their case for lack of clarity in loss descriptions for USAF aircraft. That's the reason why other sources are needed.

Regards,

Paul Thompson
