In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Korean War, the
official history offices of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and
Air Force and their respective historical associations collaborated
to sponsor as comprehensive a symposium as possible, including as
participants some of the coalition partners who contributed forces
and weapons to the war. The intent of this symposium, titled
Coalition Air Warfare during the Korean War, 1950 -1953, was to
focus not only on the contributions made by the armed forces of the
United States, but also on those of America's allies. The diverse
group of panelists and speakers included not only scholars with
subject matter expertise, but also veteran soldiers, sailors, and
airmen who had served in that conflict. It was hoped that the
melding of these diverse perspectives would provide interesting, if
sometimes conflicting, views about the Korean War. The symposium
organizers designated an agenda of six specific panels for
investigation, including Planning and Operations; Air Superiority,
Air Support of Ground Forces; Air Interdiction and Bombardment, Air
Reconnaissance and Intelligence, and Logistical Support of Air
Operations. Each session began with commentary by the panel
chairman, which was followed by formal papers, and in some
instances included a lively question and answer session. The papers
and most of the proceedings found their way into print and are
recorded here in an effort to permanently capture the activities,
challenges, contributions, and heroics of the coalition air forces
and the airmen who fought during the Korean conflict.
