 British Commonwealth Carrier Operations in the Korean War   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
The choice of targets for the British aircraft was severely limited by the poor radius action of the early mark of Firefly operated by HMS Triumph’s 14th Carrier Air Group (CAG) and the limited strike capability of the Seafire 47 that was primarily an air defence fighter.
Although less capable than her USN counterparts, HMS Triumph played a key role in the war by being in the right place at the right time, and her contribution was, thus, more significant than that of forces who were too far away.
HMS Glory, another of the ubiquitous light fleet carriers, carried the re-formed 14th CAG equipped with Sea Furies and Firefly FR5s, which were to be the standard Commonwealth carrier fighter-bombers for the rest of the war.
