More About The Forgotten War
Review by Don on 07/17/20 review stating More About The Forgotten War
Not much is written about the air war that took place over Korea, so this DVD is interesting. Not too many are aware of what happened in Korea during that conflict and that is why it is referred to as The Forgotten War. This DVD involves the air war when our pilots, some of WW11 battles, find themselves fighting experienced Russian pilots. Its also a the first time that the jet fighter was used also. The fact that there are so many Americans still unable to be accounted for is what this DVD is all about.

husband fathers fighter pilot
Review by Call D. on 07/17/20 review stating husband fathers fighter pilot
my husband robert shaw was in the army air corps in pilot training from 1952-53; he said he was in training to replace the pilots in the korean war; but by the time he was trained, war wound down so he wasnt called into that duty. after watching this story i realized that had he been even 1 year older he may have had a different fate! instead he went on to father two great sons, one of which just retired off f-15s maitai unit hawaii!
