Korea: UN Planes Continue Blasting Red Targets Despite increased enemy ground fire and threats of Russian jet interception, propeller-driven 'Mustangs' continue to blast enemy positions on ridges with rockets and jelly bombs. Behind the front, a crippled B-26 bomber comes in for a belly landing after being damaged in battle. Pretty cool air-to-air and air-to-ground shots of planes flying, firing rockets (strafing). Bomber crash lands pretty successfully, crew scrambles away from damaged plane. Pilot (?) gestures to another man as if to explain his crash landing (they're all smirking so this looks staged).
