Red Jets Back In Air As Infantry Attacks On Korean Front
Communist round troops attacked United Nations forces in two sectors of the Korean front as cease fire talks neared a new crisis. Before bad weather, planes briefly flew over North Korea for the first time since July 29. At dawn two Communist companies attacked, driving a small UN unit from a hill north of Yanggu. UN counterattacks retook the position. Predawn raids on Allied positions below Kumsong were repulsed, with limited gains in east central Korea. Two patrols near the Hwachon Reservoir clashed with outposts then withdrew. Clouds reduced air support to about 20 missions, but Fifth Air Force stepped up strikes against targets in enemy-held Korea. Communist jet fighters challenged UN jets over North Korea, while bombers damaged key railway yards in western Korea before facing heavy anti-aircraft fire and returning to bases in Okinawa.
