		Aviation had an enormous impact on the course of World War II and the war had just as big of an impact on aviation.
		Aviation was poised to advance rapidly following the war, in large part because of the development of jets, but there still were significant problems to overcome.

		At the end of October 1950, the aviation of the KPA and CPV, with a goal of guaranteeing the successful implementation of the mission of protecting objects and lines of communication in rear areas, were combined into the Unified Air Army (OVA).
		Part of the aviation forces was assigned to destroy the fighter-bombers on distant approaches to the protected objects in the rear area and for clearing blockades of friendly airfields.
		In the first stage, the staffs of the aviation units and formations reported the results of combat operations by their fighters and enemy aviation from the previous day and also pilot reports, corrected the day's combat roster, gave the names of the group leaders, their callsigns and missions for the day.

		An improved variant, the MiG-15bis, entered service in early 1950, with a number of changes intended to mitigate the aircraft's handling flaws.
		Chinese MiG-15s took part in the first jet-versus-jet dogfights after the Communist invasion of South Korea, and proved superior to the UN air forces' F-80 and Gloster Meteors.
		Even the F-86 Sabre, introduced in December 1950, was inferior to the MiG-15 in many respects, although superior tactics and pilot training often allowed UN pilots to get the upper hand.

	History 100 - New Technologies and Airplanes
		Rather than looking at the people, events, and machines of aviation history in great detail, and focusing instead on a phenomenon that was almost religious in nature during the first quarter of the twentieth century; a “winged gospel,” as historian Joseph Corn calls it emerged in the United States.
		Aviation interests in turn valued women for their traditional domestic image; the fact that they were present in the field offset the public’s view of the “intrepid birdman stereotype” who risk-taking and daring verged on folly.
		Aviation lost its magic and wonder in the post-modern world of the United States when it was finally understood that an airplane was simply one of two things only; it was either a weapon or a vehicle, and nothing more.

	Foreign Affairs - Book Review - Revolt of the Admirals: The Fight for Naval Aviation, 1945-1950 - Jeffrey G. Barlow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		In the ensuing feud over nuclear weapons--equipped bombers and the importance of carrier aviation, a chief of naval operations found himself forced out of office in what became known as "the revolt of the admirals."
		Barlow's scholarly study is sympathetic to the admirals, and he argues that their congressional testimony and lobbying helped lay the foundations for the recovery of carrier aviation during the 1950s.
		Yet this book is also valuable as a study of civilian-military relations in a time of uncertain geopolitics, technological flux, limited financial resources, and interservice competition--a time, in short, that in important respects resembles our own.

		This was particularly apparent in naval aviation where the introduction of jet aircraft had created a composite force in which like units were equipped with either jet or propeller-driven aircraft having wide differences in performance characteristics, maintenance and support requirements, and tactical application.
		In a period when naval aviation was called upon to demonstrate its continuing usefulness in war and its particular versatility in adapting to new combat requirements, it also moved forward toward new horizons.
		When a heavy concentration of mines in the harbor delayed the scheduled landings, the carrier attack shifted northward and inland to assist the advance of United Nations forces which by the time the landings were made on the 26th, had swept past the intended objective area and were advancing toward the Yalu River.

		One symptom of this conflict was a showdown between the Air Force and the Navy over the role of carrier aviation in the national security framework of the United States.
		This rejection fueled the Navy’s fear that naval aviation was to have a diminishing role in the new atomic age and provided the final impetus for a clash between the Air Force and the Navy.
		During the latter hearings, high-ranking naval officers voiced their opinion that naval aviation was being denigrated by a Defense Secretary enamored with possibilities of strategic bombing and scornful of the Navy’s contribution to such a mission.
