Front cover: A flight of F-86 fighters are heading for MiG Alley as back up to intercept a swarm

of MiG-15s that have taken off from a base in Manchuria. They still have their wing tanks

on so they are not in combat yet. The emblem painted on the side of the aircraft states that

they were assigned to the high scoring 335th Fighter Squadron, 4th Fighter Wing. (E. Arriaga

collection / Warren Thompson Collection)
