Comments: I am an historian working on the Soviet Air Force's involvement in the Korean War.
My neighbor mentioned that he had a cousin shot down in Korea. I looked him up on
the POW/MIA data base and found out that he was a member of the 16th FIS and was
shot down on October 12, 1951. The family here in Tallahassee was quite close to Lt.
Borschel when he was undergoing flight training here in FL. If anyone knew Lt.
Borschel and/or the circumstances of his loss (declared KIA in Sept. 1952), please let
me know. I assume that he was probably hit while flying a railroad interdiction raid as
the "official" USAF history says that you guys were quite busy with this type of
mission throughout Oct.-Nov. before you transitioned to F-86Es. If anyone has any
interest in the Soviet pilots who flew in "MiG Alley", I'd be happy to share my
research. Thank you for your help, service and Happy 50th An
