How Australian Meteors Fought MiGs in Korea - Part 1
In 1951, the Royal Australian Air Force temporarily pulled their Mustang equipped 77 Squadron out of combat in the Korean War in order to convert it to Gloster Meteor F8. Unable to purchase F-86 Sabre from the USA, Australian government bought the best fighter Great Britain could offer. This airplane however would prove to be inferior to the fighter used by the communist side - MiG-15. Australian pilots struggled against Soviet pilots but occasionally achieved some success. In part one, we will talk about the early engagements flown by the pilots of No 77 Squadron RAAF.
