...Omar Bradley, a professional fighting man who, like the rest of his tribe does too much public talking, spoke out for all the world to hear. His audience was a convention in Atlanta of newspaper editors. He dealt by indirection with other implications of the Red concentrations along the Yalu-that they might be planning to make North Korea a permanent open sore, that they might be trying to trap the bulk of U.S. strength while another, major Red assault was launched elsewhere...
...Korean dams which generate hydroelectric power used by Manchurian industry and furnish light to the Manchurian industrial center of Mukden, the Russian naval base at Port Arthur and Dairen. The British view was strengthened by the fact that Chinese troops had struck hardest in the area south of the Yalu River's 480-ft. Suiho Dam, which has a capacity of 700,000 kw., two-thirds as much as massive Hoover Dam. But supporters of the British view did not explain how Communist China, whose armed forces consist almost entirely of ground troops, hoped to safeguard power plants which...
Commanding the four Shooting Stars, Major Evans G. Stephens, a Texan, and his wingman, Lieut. Russell Brown of Pasadena, Calif., saw two Communist jets pull out of a dive 50 miles south of the Yalu and turn toward the river at the Americans' altitude, closing fast. Said Stephens afterwards, "Brown and I were between the enemy jets and the river. I called to the rest of my flight to come on up-we have two of them cornered...
...airmen were busier last week than at any time since the war began. With Chinese Communist soldiers and equipment pouring from Manchuria into North Korea, every bridge across the Yalu River became a target. By the hundreds, U.S. jets and piston-powered planes bombed, rocketed and machine-gunned roads, supply points and assembly areas. The tempo of the 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...
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...
