The fight for air superiority began the day the Korean War started and only ended with the armistice three years later. Once the shock of the North Koreans’ invasion wore off; it did not take long for the United States Air Force; assisted by other United Nations air forces; to destroy the North Korean Air Force. The arrival of the MiG–15 in November 1950; often flown by Soviet pilots; changed things considerably however. For the remainder of the war; bitterly contested air battles were fought almost daily. Yet despite a decided numerical superiority in jet fighters; the Communists were never able to gain air superiority; testament to the skill and training of the UN fighter pilots; primarily those U.S. Air Force airmen flying the magnificent F–86 Sabre.

The individual stories of various immigrants in present day America fill a vital need and remove this immigration debate from abstract statistics. This book shows how NOVA; Northern Va. has; fortunately; changed since the days of segregationist Congressman Howard Smith. It demonstrates the impact these immigrants had on putting Barack Obama into the White House and in flipping the Old Dominion "Blue." I noticed that many of these immigrant children went to JEB Stuart High School; now being properly renamed. The impact of these immigrants and their children contributed to this change. An absolute must rea.. .0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Two StarsBy Angela A. Sanyalbook was just OK.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
