it needs all kinds of people to make it function properly.

This is because a great many talents are required to move goods from the assembly line to the user, and to keep them operating satisfactorily once they get into the hands of the ultimate consumer.

By the time the Korean War was American fighter pilots was constantly The pattern of aerial warfare in Korea over, 38 pilots qualified as jet aces by in action, accounting for an addition was contradictory. On the one hand, American pilots were instructed to bail out at sea whenever possible because air- sea rescue helicopters and amphibian flying boats could easily pick them up. The reds, on the other hand, issued strict orders to their pilots to bail out only over land. Moreover, the MIG's never flew out of "MICi Alley" in northwest Korea, an area bounded by the Yalu River on the north and the battered North Korean capital of Pyongyang on the south. There were three reasons the enemy purposely kept his planes confined to the northwest corner of the war-torn peninsula: First, MIG's traveling shorter distances into combat could remain aloft much

longer. Second, they could run for it to the safety of the "sanctuary" on the other side of the Yalu. Finally, the So- viets didn't want any Russian pilots falling into American hands. During the 37 months of the Korean War only one red jet pilot bailed out where he could be captured alive. In sff all tlie lials piled on (lu- kid's "What a crowd! Did you coats and bed?"

Aboard were 5th Air Force personnel who monitored each of the Able, Baker, Charlie and Dog channels used by friendly pilots. Tape recorders also monitored the MIG frequencies.
