I painted the big S on the tail, sat on little boy and read Aristotle, and cut the skipper's hair.

Comments: I am trying to gather information about the air combat operations of USN squadrons in Korea. In case of VF-54 I am especially interested in encounters with MiG’s during the November 1950 strikes on the Yalu bridges. Official archival information briefly mentions VF-52’s victory over a MiG 18 November. VF-54’s Historical Report also mentions a MiG sighting 12 November as well the MiG attack on the air group 18 November. Any futher information on this or other MiG encounters by any sdn in Valley Forge/CVG-5 at that time, first hand or not, would be helpful.

Excerpted from ongoing dialogue:

one thing i forgot to tell you that is interesting vf-54 (cag-5) flew 
ad's in korea, i don't know how many years they had ad's. 

i had a choice of vf-54 or vf-791 when i graduated ao  school, took 791
with corsairs, little easier on your back than ad's.
