| − | The Korean War was the first conflict in which jet aircraft fought each other. (Both the Luftwaffe and the RAF had operational jets in WWII, but they never came into direct conflict.) Most jet battles took place near the Yalu River, in the airspace over north-western North Korea known as "Mig alley." The UN forces generally retained air superiority throughout most of the war. | + | The Korean War was the first conflict in which jet aircraft fought each other.
