Re: What is "MiG Alley"?



Thanks
Yes.. that is the one..
 
BUT you provided data that 17 Migs were lost to B29
AND
Earlier conversations state this might not be true.
 
Did the B29 Gunners shootdown 17 Migs?
I can understand the Yak9.
 
Also the Russians used La11 and 9 against the B29
did they have any success against them and vice versa.
 
Where can I get more data on this?

On 23 October 1951 (Black Tuesday)  SLT V. M. Khurtin of the 523d IAP (303rd IAD) was forced to bail out due to damage inflicted by B-29 gunners. His regimental mates reportedly never let him live it down!
