Warren Thompson has given the air enthusiasts, historians, and Mustang buffs an excellent start in Osprey's "Frontline Color" series. F-51 Mustang Units over Korea contains a great deal of information and carefully selected color photos of all US and UN users of F-51/RF-51s during the Korean War. This book covers a much overlooked area of aviation history dealing with F-51 operations and units in Korea. The facts about Australian, South Korean, and South African units were an extra bonus. This book gives these outstanding pilots, ground crews, and units their due.Perfect for US Air Force, Royal Australian Air Force, South African Air Force and South Korean Mustang enthusiasts. It is a great book and I recommend it highly. If you want an operational overview of the F-51 Mustangs you wouldn't go wrong with this book - well worth the price and time to read.
Well researched text and plenty of pics make this one a keeper. Also, the anectodes from pilots flying in the various units profiled make this Osprey production well worth the price. I keep this one next to my copy of the movie "Battle Hymn" which is a slightly fictionalized account of Col. Dean Hess in Korea. Fittingly, filmed about the time (1957) the Mustang was going out of service with the U.S.A.F.
An excellent book with plenty of period color photos. A nice reference for the modeler.
Very informative, and very helpful in research for my model building.
