RADARGUNS
TAKE TOLL OF
U. 5.PLANES
WASHINGTON, May 28 — |#| _
Modern, electronically-aimed anti
aircraft guns — and not the spectac
ular Russian designed MIG 15 jet
fighters — are taking the heaviest
toll of American planes in the Kor
ean war.
Of the more than 200 U. S. Air
Force planes lost to enemy action in
'll months of war, the great major
ity has been downed by fire from
the ground — everything ranging
from rifle fire to heavy flak.
Because the Air Force guards such
details, the proportion of aircraft
lost to flak and to enemy plane
may not be stated.
The Reds’ ground gunners, using
radar-directed weapons, have hi.
B-2S bombers at altitudes well above
20,000 feet in air raids during recen.
weeks.
This radar equipment, like the
planes the Chinese and Noruh Kor
ean forces use, is presumed of Rus- ,
sian manufacture and much of it
probably was copied from the sub- ;
stantial amounts of radar equipmen
given ihe Soviets by the U. S. and j
Britain during World War II. when |
the three were Allies.
