Korean War U.S AirForce.

The Korean War is known as the "forgotten war", evan though there were hundereds of thousands of casualties from both South and North Korea, many from the U.S Airforce. The U.S Airfroce during this war focused on strategic bombing which would allow them to win the war from the air and not cause so many civilian casualties.



Strategic Bombing is known as hittin the enemy were it really hurts in this situation hittin North and South Korea at there power plants, railroad bridges, port facilites. The reason they attacked this way is so it would make the enemy "lose it's capability and will to sustain in the war"

They also used a differant method of bombing known as "tactical bombing" which is aiming rite for the enemy military forces, strongholds and ammunition and weapon barracks.



There were many units in the korean war some aacs units were, 1249th aacs sqdn, 1818th aacs group, 1935th aacs sqdn. Some air control units were 116th tactical control sqdn, 502nd tactical control group, 605th tactical control sqdn. Some air control units, 3rd air rescue group, 3rd air rescuse sqdn

This is some reasons why the korean war was so bad and so many people died. :(
