Last F-86 vs MIG-15 combat July 20,1953
On July 20, 1953, the last two F-86 lost in aerial combat with MIG-15 were reported. These were F-86F, s/n 51-12973, 4th FG, 336TH FS, Maj. Thomas Sellers, KIA and F-86E, s/n 51-2836, 4th FG, 336th FG, Maj. Stephen Bellinger, POW. The only report I have seen is that they were trying to down MIG-15s in the landing pattern at Dabao. Major Sellers was USMC and supposedly lost both wings in combat.
