U S To Step Up Air War In Korea Soon
Washington reports indicate a broader air war in Korea is coming, with two more B 29 bomber groups dispatched to the Far East this week alongside prior units. Officials say a substantial strategic bombing effort is anticipated, though not a full regional air war, as North Korea’s own arms supply lies beyond its borders. Marine air units arrive to bolster UN ground support, while improved air ground coordination and stabilized battle sites enable better use of available Allied air power. Critics note questions about air power’s effectiveness, but observers praise equipment and results amid difficult conditions.
