COMBAT STORIES FROM Korea

LTG (Ret) Charles Cleveland | 334th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron - Air Force

5:09   |   All flights were grounded because the F-86 was not an all-weather fighter. Pilot Charles Cleveland and his wing man got cleared for a weather recon flight and flew up to the Yalu River, where the weather had cleared. They heard from their radar site that bandits were coming in. As he encountered them, he maneuvered behind the leader and thought, I'm about to get my first MiG.
