As the title says, I’m looking for a book on the Korean airwar. In particular I’m looking for something with the prop warbirds on both sides.
I’m not really looking for any specific type, but would consider anything which is recommended. Bombers, recon, fighters, transport, anything.
It would be nice if you could give a brief description of the book, but i can always find it on amazon and check it out there.

Hello Mondariz,
may be “The United States Air Force in Korea 1950-1953” by Robert F Futrell would be an idea. It was published in a revised edition in 1983 by the Office of Air Force History, USAF, Washington, DC
I bought it years ago at Midland Counties for a mere L 19.95 (sorry, can’t find the Pound sign…)
Cheers

Try this one!
Have just finished reading ‘ WITH THE YANKS IN KOREA’ VOL. 1 by Brian Cull & Dennis Newton published by Grub Street. At the moment some shops have it remaindered which is how I paid a much cheaper price for mine!
It covers the first 18 months of the war mainly from the British and Commonwealth Airforces but also quite a lot about the Americans. An excellent read and most informative about the aerial combat and other missions carried out. Volume 2 covers the second period of the war from 1952 to its conclusion in July 1953.
