Jet battles flare as Sabres clash with MIGs near Manchurian border
F-86 pilots report the Red jets fought harder than before in two air battles. Monday’s clash, the larger of the two, destroyed five Reds and damaged two. Thirty-three Sabres faced 40 MIGs from 28,000 feet to tree top level, with Sunday’s fight marking one MIG down and six damaged in a smaller engagement. Ground action shifted to familiar terrain as Red artillery moved into the iron triangle and gains were mostly limited to the East where Allies pressed toward a strategic assembly area. A UN task force crossed the Junging river in the West, pressing a suspected Communist buildup area but meeting Red defense.
