| The only change I would make is to swap the F84 for the Meteor for ground attack. | |

I also read accounts of Russian Korean War Vets who gave the F-84 commendable marks....

| True and understandable. However in those hot and high conditions the extra power must help when carrying a heavy load.
Book figures in ideal conditions often bare little resembalance to reality in places like Korea. None of the early jets could be said to have a abundance of power and the extra thrust would have been welcome.
They both carried around 2000ib bombs but I would prefer the 4 x 20 compared to the 6 x HMG. | |
