to fight and the air kills of the "forbidden area" were not confirm.
to speak again about the russians ww2 planes,the best germans aces said that the la and yak series can outturn the fw190s and me109s.the soviets know how to built a good planes.

source about korea war dogfights:a book called KOREAN WAR ACES by osprey publishing (it is a serie of good books and i have the collecting of the french version:60 books of 60 pages,the english version is better with more pages and more color profiles)
u must find it on internet i think

good hunting bud

Yeah, I know the site. The link in my sig, goes to Osprey. They've got some great books on planes, and just different wars in general. I actually have the Korean War book you're talking about and the MiG-15 and F-86 one as well. I didn't see that in the Korean War Aces though, so I'll have to take a look at it more thoroughly.
