F-51 Korean war claims

[Leo Etgen]

Hi guys

An ancient Wings magazine (February 1982, Vol. 12, No. 1) gives the following list of confirmed F-51 aerial victories in Korea:

1/Lt Harry T Sandlin 80th FBSq 29 June 1950 La-7
1/Lt Richard J Burns 35th FBSq 29 June 1950 Il-10
2/Lt Orrin R Fox 80th FBSq 29 June 1950 Yak-9 (2)
Capt Eduard Hoagland 67th FBSq 3 August 1950 Yak
Capt Howard I Price 67th FBSq 3 August 1950 Yak
Maj Arnold "Moon" Mullins 67th FBSq 10 August 1950 Yak (3)
1/Lt Ralph "Smiley" Hall 35th FBSq 28 September 1950 Yak
Capt Robert D Thresher 67th FBSq 1 November 1950 Yak-3
Capt AR Flake 67th FBSq 1 November 1950 Yak-3
1/Lt James L Glessner 12th FBSq 2 November 1950 Yak-9
Capt AR Flake 67th FBSq 2 November 1950 Yak-9
Capt Howard I Price 67th FBSq 6 November 1950 Yak-9 (1 ½)
1/Lt Henry S Reynolds 67th FBSq 6 November 1950 Yak-9 (1 ½)
1/Lt William P Dougherty 35th FBSq 28 November 1950 Yak
Maj Arnold "Moon" Mullins 67th FBSq 5 February 1951 Yak-9
1/Lt James B Harrison 67th FBSq 20 June 1951 Yak-9

The first three pilots were flying ROKAF fighters on the day they claimed their victories but were members of the squadrons designated. I have no idea how accurate this list is but perhaps it can be of help.

Horrido!
