Re: Gabreski shot down in Korea

Joe,

It seems I got sidetracked by reports that Gabreski flew in 51-2746 on 2 October 1951...
Indeed, this F-86 was lost only a year later, so whatever dogfight had taken place before, this hadn't resulted in a write-off.

Regards,

Leendert

Sources were already mentioned in previous post:
-51-2746's Individual Aircraft Record Card
-"5th Air Force Daily Lost, Damaged and Aborted Aircraft File"
-50-1106's preliminary accident report, F-84 lost in accident Oct 2.
-'relevant daily summaries', giving the RF-80 air combat loss and no other air combat losses Oct 2, means the 5th AF Daily Intel Summary for Oct 2 and the next couple of days (where details of the Oct 2 combats are filled in).

The specific Soviet victory credits are from their records via other researchers.

There are air combats given in US records in each time window where Soviet pilots were credited with victories Oct 2, but only the single RF-80 was actually lost, per those US records.

Re: Gabreski shot down in Korea

Joe

Can you advise of ANY website that deals with the Korean conflict in the AIR and at the same time give US losses besides the usual F-86 reports?

Sometimes when reading books one gets the feeling that the UN forces were battling the whole of Korean/Chinese/Russian air forces with only the F-86 units.

Cheers
Stig
