The Korean War was the first war in which jet aircraft played a
central role. For the initial months of the war, the F9F Panther
and other jets dominated North Korea's prop-driven air force and
later held their own against the MiGs. Within these pages are
listed more than 1,140 U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps and Military
Air Transport Service (MATS) aircraft lost during the Korean War.
These aircraft were spread across 19 different ships, 126 different
squadrons, by 12 aircraft manufacturers building nearly 60
different types and variants to fly into war. The information on
dates lost, aircraft type and manufacturer, Bureau Numbers, ship or
base assigned, squadron attached, and fate of the pilot and crew,
are here. In this 2017 Edition, an alphabetized index of nearly
1,300 names of pilots and crewmembers listed in the book has been
added.
