Skipping lunch, MacArthur boarded the SCAP for an air reconnaissance along the border. The SCAP took MacArthur over the Communist stronghold at Sinuiju, the Suiho power site, and the whole length of the lower Yalu to Hyesanjin, where the 7th Division had reached the river. At Hyesanjin, the SCAP swooped down and waggled its wings in salute. Then it headed southeast for Tokyo...
...only way U.S. B-29s could bomb the Yalu River bridges without violating the border was by making long bomb runs just inside and parallel to the line running down the center of the 2,500-ft.-wide Yalu. While making such a ten-minute bomb run on Sinuiju, 24 U.S. Superforts at 25,000 ft. were jumped by 16 Russian-made jet fighters-MIG-iss. Attacking in pairs, the Red jets, traveling at better than 600 m.p.h., began their dives high on the Manchurian side of the border, swept across the Yalu just long enough to shoot...
...feet above the burning North Korean border city of Sinuiju last week, fighter planes in history's first jet dogfight streaked across the morning sky. Eight or more Russian-made MIG-15s tangled for a deadly moment with four U.S. Lockheed F-80s. The score: one Communist jet shot down, another damaged; U.S. fighters, untouched...
...allied air attack brought Russian-made jets (see below) racing across the border into dogfights with U.S. jets and piston planes. The Reds lost 48 planes in ten days. Maximum demolition and fire bomb attacks were delivered by 6-293 upon the key river-crossing cities of Sinuiju (temporary North Korean capital), Uiju and Manpojin. And though enemy antiaircraft fire came up from both sides of the Yalu against U.S. planes, the allied bomb line stayed strictly, south of the center of the border river...
...Sinuiju (pop. 100,000) at the mouth of the Yalu where two great Antung-Sinuiju bridges were carrying the bulk of the Chinese armies across. Three hundred U.S. fighters and 79 6-29 Superforts dropped 630 tons of bombs, including 1,000-lb. demolition bombs and 85,000 incendiaries. The Air Force said that 90% of Sinuiju's military targets-warehouses, factories, locomotive sheds and railroad marshaling yards-had been destroyed, and the approaches to one of the bridges knocked out. Later in the week the U.S. Navy knocked out three of the Yalu River bridges, including...
