Description: HOT SHOTS: An Oral History of the Air Force Combat Pilots of the Korean War edited by Jennie Ethel Chancey and William R. Forstchen. LIKE NEW First Edition stated, full number line hardcover, 2000. Between 1950 and 1953, more than 50,000 Americans gave their lives in pursuit of democracy for the Korean people. Known as the "Forgotten War," the Korean War heralded a new era of warfare, one where countries from around the world struggled over the fate of a relatively small peninsula jutting into the Sea of Japan. It was the proving ground for post-WWII aviation, when the first generation of jet aircraft took to the skies to tangle in deadly combat with Communist MiGs. Control of the skies meant victory or failure in the ground war raging below. Firsthand accounts from top gun pilots combined with after-action reports brings to life the risk, dedication, and bravery of America's forgotten heroes.
