The Korean War of 1950–1953 marked an important stage in the transition from piston-engined combat aircraft to jet fighters. Aircraft including the North American F-86 Sabre and MiG-15 fought in high-speed air combat, particularly in the area that became known as MiG Alley.
Piston-engined aircraft also remained operationally important, including the Royal Navy’s Hawker Sea Fury flying from British carriers. JET Art Gallery’s Korean War collection brings together limited edition aviation prints depicting aircraft and aircrew from this formative period of early jet combat.
