American Jets Down 10 Red
Planes In Biggest Victory;
Red Trucks Stream ToFront

SEOUL KOREA, NOV. 30-tR,
in the greatest air victory of
the Korean war American jet pi-
lots today reported they shot
down ten communist planes, dam
aged four and probably destroyed
another.
Nine of the destroyed planes
were bombers, the first to venture
en- masse across the Yalu River
into MIG alley.
The Fifth Air Force said no al
lied planes were lost.
Thirty-one American Sabre jets
pounced on the flight of 80 Red
bombers and their escort of is
MIG-15 jets. The Sabres streaked
through the numbering bombers,
swooped up and cut the escorting
flight of Red jets in half. then
raced down onto the bonbers.
The Sabres did it all in one
long deadly curve that sent nine
bombers and one MIG tumbling
down toward the mouth of the
Yalu River.
Three other bombers were re-
ported damaged. All were Rus
sion-type: twin-engine TUBS and
single engine LABS. The Red for
nation had just crossed the Yalu
River boundary from Manchuria,
apparently on training flight.
The 80 minute battle was the
fourth air fight of the day and
the biggest of any type-jet or
propeller planes-fought in the
Korean war. The earlier flights
accounted for the probable and
the fourth damaged Red.
The four day air battle total
mounted to Is Red jet planes re-
ported destroyed one probably
destroyed and 13 damaged,
against one u S. plane shot
down and three damaged.
Earlier the Fifth Air Force had
studied films of Wednesdays
fight and found one more MIG-15
was shot down than American
pilots had reported.
Fridays great battle climaxed
a week of increasing Red jet
flights into North Korea and an
an astounding jump in communist
highway traffic to the front lines.
Long conveys of Red trucks
were spotted last night racing
toward the quiet forward lines
with their lights blazing.

counted at least 5000 of them,
