History of the UN SUMMER-FALL OFFENSIVE 1951 Battle Streamer
In 1951, truce negotiations during the Korean War did not halt hostilities, leading to a UN offensive in central Korea. The UN ground forces engaged in a war of attrition, while air power played a crucial role. Allied airfields were improved throughout South Korea, with various air force units stationed strategically. The Chinese Air Force tested UN air superiority in July, leading to significant aerial combat in September. The UN shifted focus to railway interdiction campaigns, disrupting Communist supply lines. In October, North Koreans constructed new airfields, prompting B-29 raids. Despite successful initial raids, MiG interceptors posed a threat, preventing the destruction of North Korean airfields. Truce negotiations resumed in November 1951, leading to a defensive stance by the UN forces and a continued air offensive by the Communists.
