GI Joe USAF Korea 12" Action Figure 1998 Hasbro 81502

The end of World war I brought major changes and reorganization to the American Armed forces. On September 18, 1947, amid this flurry of activity, the United States Air Force was established as a separate branch of the military. It would not be long before the new service would be tested--in combat. On June 25, 1950, troops from North Korea invade the southern part of that country and started what would come to be known as The Korean War. This conflict would pass a number of new problems for the men and women of the United States Air Force. Relying heavily on bomber-fighter units in Guam, Okinawa, the Philippines, and Japan, many of the Air Force plats were flying into combat in propeller driven World War II airplanes with limited range. It was a grim test of courage for Air Force pilots who found themselves fighting a modern war with dated weapons. Still, they fought on. As the United Nations Forces moved the battle line closer to the Chinese border, the Chinese entered the war with MiG 15 jets American pilots, armed with propeller driven aircraft were facing a jet age enemy. Only the experience and uncommon valor at the UN pilots enabled them to persevere As the war continued, tighter pilots at United States Air Force obtained faster more lethal jet-propelled warbirds like the F66A Sabre and the F84 thunderjet. These planes were mars than a match for the MiGs, enabling the valiant soldiers of the Air Force to remain steadfast in their resistance to aggression.
