Despite American success in preventing the conquest of South Korea
by communist North Korea, the Korean War of 1950-1953 did not
satisfy Americans who expected the kind of total victory that they
had experience in World War II. In that earlier, larger war,
victory over Japan cam after two atomic bombs destroyed the cities
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But in Korea five years later, the
United States limited itself to conventional weapons. Even after
Communist china entered the war, Americans put China off-limits to
conventional bombing as well as nuclear bombing. Operating within
these limit, the U.S. Air Force helped to repel two invasions of
South Korea while securing control of the skies so decisively that
other United National forces could fight without fear of air
attack.
