F-86 Sabre January 4, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

The only thing missing in the text its that it should include more about the Sabre technical side and a little bit more about the Sabre - Mig comparison. In my opinion one of the most important thing missing (and it is a case with a number of Osprey books) its that there is no charts showing the regions over which the battles were fought or where the actions were taken. Also, there is a lot of talking about pilots "going from this squadron to that squadron etc."-this is a completely irrelevant information.In any case I think that the book is good and Osprey needs just a little bit to be perfect.

Top-Scoring F-86 Pilots in MiG Alley Action! September 20, 2006
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

Hard on the heels of his recent history of the 51st FW, noted Korean War historian Warren Thompson serves up the exploits of the top-scoring 4th FW in this nicely done Osprey 'Aircraft of the Aces' series.

As with previous Osprey titles by Thompson, the reader is presented with many first-person narratives from pilots who flew the Sabre in MiG Alley including acCounts from well-known aces like Lonnie Moore, George Jones, Cliff Jolley and 'Hoot' Gibson. Not every F-86 pilot made ace and it's interesting reading the stories told by the 'wingy's.'

As always, there's tons of photos including many in color and 14 pages of color side-views and some nifty nose art.

A nice, well-deserved tribute to the top-scoring 4th FW!

Wouldn't it be great if Osprey has a 'MiG-15 Aces of the Korean War' in the works!?!
