Comments: I am trying to gather information about the air combat operations of USN squadrons in Korea. In case of VP-731 I am interested in any information on the encounter between a VP-731 a/c and MiGs 31 July 1952. Any further info on this encounter, or others, first hand or not, would be helpful.
