Korean War – OUT NOW!

FEATURING:

The Air War Over Korea
An Introduction

The Invasion Begins
The attack from the North came swiftly and unexpectedly. For South Korea it would be the beginning of a turbulent period that saw 2.5 million civilians killed or wounded during a three-year long bloody conflict that embroiled nations from around the globe

Task Force Smith
When Lt Col Charles B Smith led a task force into battle in July 1950 few could have imagined how disastrous it would be

Rockets & Propaganda
It soon became obvious that existing weapons were almost useless against the modern Communist supplied tanks, but propaganda would also play a vital role in the war against North Korea

Black Tuesday
With poor fighter cover and low cloud, just five out of eight B-29s returned from their mission and two of those were so badly damaged they would never fly again

Bailing out of B-29s
Dozens of B-29 Superfortresses were lost during the Korean War. Sometimes all of the crew survived, sometimes none. In theory, if you bailed out at height your chances of survival were better than at low level. However, sometimes this was not the case

Operation Big Switch
The final missions of the war were flown on July 27. Then the job began of repatriating prisoners of war.

Counting the Cost
The Korean War turned out to be much longer and far bloodier than anyone anticipated. In addition to those lost or injured, large numbers of POWs ‘disappeared’, presumed to have been shipped to the USSR
