JOE BRENNAN wrote on January 26, 2002 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: INTERESTED PERSON Comments: I am doing research on naval air combat in the Korean War. November 21, 1952 Robert C. Hopping USN of VF-721 became MIA west of Yangdok NK. USN records list the cause as AAA or "probably AAA" depending on source. Soviet MiG pilot Sr.Lt NM Sokurenko claimed an aircraft that day he ID'ed as a USAF F-84. A guncamera shot of the flaming target has been published, not clearly distinguishable as an F-84 or F9F; no F-84's were lost on this date. Can anyone provide additional information on this VF-721 loss? Keywords:
