Strangling Enemy Supply Lines

摘要

September 19, 1951. The 9th FS, 49th FG's F-84E Thunderjets were heading north at 12,000 feet; each airplane with two 500-pound bombs. The 7th, 8th and 9th FS sister squadrons were tasked with dive-bombing the main rail line between Sinanju and Pyongyang at a "chokepoint" just south of Sukchon, Korea, where the line went through a marsh between two hills— the most difficult place for the enemy to make repairs. It was their second mission of the day.
