Fifth Air Force, Korea -- Keeping a wary eye open for Russian-built MIG-15s, the pilots of these U.S. Air Force F-86 "Sabre" jets of the 51st Fighter Interceptor Wing patrol the skies high over North Korea protecting fighter bomber operations. Pilots of the 51st FI Wing have shot down more than 145 MIGs, probably destroyed more than 15 and damaged more than 170 others. (circa November 1952)
