U.S. Navy Aviator's Flight Logbook, November 1950 (Korean War)
These logbook pages from November 1950 document the flight hours of a U.S. Navy pilot flying Corsair fighter-bombers and Hellcat night fighters during the opening months of the Korean War. Entries recording rocket and bomb missions, night carrier landings, and instrument approaches offer a rare firsthand record of the demanding pace of carrier aviation in combat, when naval aircrews flew close air support and strike missions from fleet carriers off Korea.
