History of the KOREA SUMMER-FALL 1952 Battle Streamer
In 1952, the UN implemented a new strategy to increase military pressure on North Korea during the Korean War. The Fifth Air Force shifted its focus to attacks on supply depots, industrial targets, and power plants. Aerial reconnaissance played a crucial role in target selection. Pyongyang, the capital city of North Korea, became a target in July, with subsequent attacks causing significant damage. Antiaircraft defenses were upgraded in response, leading to changes in bombing tactics. Throughout the summer and fall, the Far East Air Forces provided close air support, and the 315th Air Division supported ground forces with airlift operations. The introduction of modified F-86F Sabre aircraft improved the UN's aerial combat performance against North Korean and Chinese MiG-15 fighters. Despite increased air campaign pressure, truce talks remained stubbornly stalled, with negotiations recessing in October 1952 due to disagreements over the repatriation of prisoners of war. The conflict continued in a stalemate as winter set in.
