The Korean War was the first war in
which jet aircraft played a central
role. Once-formidable fighters such
as the F4U Corsair relinquished their
air superiority roles to a new
generation of faster jet fighters.

Within these pages are listed more
than 1,140 U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine
Corps and Military Air Transport
Service (MATS) aircraft lost during
the Korean War.

These aircraft were spread across 19
different ships, 126 different
squadrons, by 12 aircraft
manufacturers building nearly 60
different types and variants to fly
into war.

The information on dates lost,
aircraft type and manufacturer, Bureau
Numbers, ship or base assigned,
squadron attached, and fate of the
pilot and crew, are here.

Chapter 1 is a subset of all the
information organized by ship
attached; Chapter 2 is a subset
organized by squadron attached;
Chapter 3 is the entire set organized
by manufacturer and variant with
stories attached to some of the
specific aircraft lost.
