Description
During the Korean War (circa 1950), "Cream of the Crop" a 5th Air Force B-29 flight faces a rude awakening as a North Korean Mig-15 slashes through its bomber formation.
Though the largest and most modern bomber at the end of World War II a scant five years before, by 1950 the B-29 Superfortress was categorized as a medium bomber when it was committed to the police action that became the Korean War. With the arrival of the jet-powered Mig 15 (as seen attacking here) the B-29 was outclassed and could from then on only be used for night missions.
