Critics Review
“Ultimately, this is a riveting read, which will have you gagging to build Korean War B-29s… and possibly the aircraft that defended against them.
* Keymodelworld.com *Enjoyed it.
* Historical Miniatures Gaming Society *If you are interested in the conflict in Korea or just fancy something different, this book will not disappoint. It is an education, and it comes with all the style we have come to expect from this publisher. Recommended.
* War History Online *This is a book loaded with statistics and excellent narrative accounts of air to air, jet to bomber and jet to jet arrangements.
* Airborne Quarterly *“Enjoyed it.”
* Historical Miniatures Gaming Society *“The Korean War remains something of a forgotten conflict to many of us I think, so this one is thoroughly interesting in my view. Especially so as it is written from the point of view of the Russian MiG pilots who were engaged in the war. There are 14-pages of fine colour profiles, featuring both MiG 15s and B-29s, plus a couple of full colour maps. Plenty of archive photos are used to illustrate the stories throughout the book. Ultimately, the speeds of the modern jets meant the end of the large piston engined bomber that had first made its name in WW2.”
