Record air defense beats back large Korean night attack
The U S fifth air force repelled what it called the largest enemy night air attack of the Korean war as President-elect Eisenhower departed Korea. Allied radar tracked 11 hostile aircraft toward Seoul in a three hour window starting 7 10 p m Gen Eisenhower left at 8 10 p m and the assault lasted about two hours. The enemy planes were small propeller driven and may have bases near Korea rather than Manchuria. One F 86 Sabre was lost in combat this week while air forces held Seoul’s air space.
