Navy Discloses
Carrier Jets
Equal to MIGs
By GEORGE McARTHUR
SEOUL, (/P) — Dismal weather
blotted out the Korean air war
Thursday after American fliers
Wednesday reported shooting
down one of the best Communist
jet pilots they have met.
Fast U.S. Sabrejets were chal
lenged in three dogfights over
North Korea late Wednesday by
a flight of 50 Russian-built MIGs,
described as “the cream of the
I
crop.”
The U.S. chief of naval opera
tions meanwhile arrived in Korea
with promise of a new Allied
threat to the deadly Communist
jets—faster carrier jets.
Adm. William L. Fechteler said
the Navy has two or three carrier
jets in production which are equal
ta or better than the Communist
MIG-15, and able to take off and
land on the Essex-type, medium
carrier.
The naval operations boss said
if the Reds pour their warplanes
ipto the battle either against Navy
ships or Allied ground forces,
“Gen. Clark has his instructions.”
The Navy is prepared to carry out
the orders of the U.S. Far East
commander as well as those of
the U.N., he added.
It is believed that sleep occurs
only among animals with a fairly
highly developed central nervous
system.
