Largest enemy night air attack repelled over Seoul
The U S fifth air force said it repelled what it called the largest enemy night air attack of the Korean war as Dwight Eisenhower left Korea. Seventeen hours earlier Allied radar tracked 11 hostile aircraft approaching Seoul from about 7 10 p m with a two hour attack. The planes were small propeller driven and may have been based near Korea rather than Manchuria. One F 86 was reported lost this week and air defense used both land based and naval anti air fire to protect Seoul. Radar first detected the enemy at 7 05 p m over western North Korea with tracks observed toward the capital.
