April 12, 1951
Black Thursday
April
12, 1951 was nicknamed "Black Thursday" by USAF pilots after three
MiG-15 squadrons with 30 aircraft attacked three squadrons of B-29
Superfortress bombers (36 planes) protected by about a hundred F-80 and F-84 fighter planes.
Russian
aces under the command of Ivan Kozhedub, a Hero of the Soviet Union on three
occasions who commanded the 324th Fighter Air Division, dissipated the myth of
invulnerability of B-29 Superfortress, a four-engine propeller-driven heavy
bomber.
The
MiGs were fast enough to fly past the escorts and engage the B-29s. Three B-29s
were shot down and seven more were damaged, with no casualties on the Soviet
side. The Soviets kept the participation of their aircrews in the Korean War
secret for many years, though it was widely suspected by UN forces.
