Adding the P-38, P-51 and a handfull of others and it would be a Korean arena.  +1.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

I don't think the P-38 made it to Korea. The 51 and 47 did.

Awesome vid... I'd settle for just some realistic looking clouds that are in there.

Very true... The USAF never officially provided a sound reason for not deploying P-47s, even though several hundred were in Air Guard units (as were the P-51s that were deployed). One retired general has stated that the spares inventory for the P-51 was more plentiful than that for the Thunderbolt. However, that was really a short term problem that could have been rectified quickly. Mustangs took heavy losses to ground fire, many of which were hits to the cooling system. They were eventually withdrawn from combat.

The aircraft the Chinese and North Korean troops feared the most was the AD Skyraider.... They called it the "Blue Plane", and some historians quote "Blue Death" as well.

Not anymore.  :D I thought it was there early on and then withdrawn in favor of the Mustang.

Widewing your friend looks like he has a dream job  :aok Even by todays standards I think the sabre is a very good looking modern plane hard to believe it was designed intially before the second world war ended! Some great vids posted btw! what game is that TB??

I am trying to find it on youtube but I ended up watching a documentary on youtube about a genius American engineer who designed a jet plane with afterburner in 1939!! The USAF didn't want a jet until they seen the me 262 and the sabre was the result of all this previous research! I cannot remember his name though  :( I know he was responsible for the design of the superchargers on the 38s though?
