WAR MYSTERY

Blog number 210                                                             26 August 2008

Several times, in the books I have read, horrific losses of B-29s by MIG jets during the Korean War is mentioned, but no number or anecdote is ever mentioned or told. It's pretty obvious that with the large number of MIG jets and the also large number of B-29's used during that war, and the fact that the speed of the MIG was so overwhelming when compared with the B-29, that losses must have indeed been horrific.  Especially at the beginning of the bombing runs, when no American jets were handy for protection.

I tried Wikipedia, no help.  Wonder what the problem is?  Very curious.
