History of the CCF INTERVENTION 1950-1951 Battle Streamer
In November 1950, during the Korean War, UN troops engaged Chinese forces along the Chongchon River. The Fifth Air Force provided air support, marking the first all-jet aerial combat, resulting in an American victory. In the following weeks, FEAF bombers targeted the Yalu River, facing challenges but achieving some successful bridge destructions. Unaware of Chinese involvement, the UN Command launched an offensive on November 25-26, coinciding with a major Communist attack, leading to the Chosin Reservoir siege.
In December, FEAF Combat Cargo Command airlifted supplies to besieged Marines, and the U.S. 1st Marine Division broke through Chinese troops. The X Corps evacuation left northeast Korea to Communist forces. Lt. Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway assumed control of all UN ground forces. Facing the MiG-15 threat, F-84 Thunderjets and F-86 Sabrejets arrived, helping maintain air superiority.
Throughout December 1950, FEAF conducted missions slowing the advancing Chinese armies. By mid-December, Communist forces moved only at night. On January 1, 1951, they crossed the 38th parallel, entering Seoul three days later. UN forces halted them on January 15, 50 miles south of the 38th parallel.
