OSPREY COMBAT AIRCRAFT 103:
F9F PANTHER UNITS OF THE KOREAN WAR
by
Warren Thompson
When the Korean War started in June 1950, the USAF had built up a
sizable jet force in the Far East, while the Navy was in the
early stages of getting F9F Panthers operational as replacements
for its piston-engined F8F Bearcats. Operating from aircraft
carriers off the Korean coast, F9Fs helped stop the North Korean
invasion within two weeks of the communists crossing the 38th
Parallel. The Panthers took the battle all the way to the Yalu
River, long before MiG-15s became a threat. The F9F's basic
tasking was aerial supremacy and combat air patrols, but they
also excelled in bombing and strafing attacks.

Battle of the Marne, the French 1st and 2nd Armies attacked into
