Secrets of the Lost Fighter Pilots: Revealed
Channel 5 Tue Dec 05 8:00 PM (60 min)
The Korean War was one of the most significant air wars of all time, marking the beginning of the jet age and the end of the dogfight era. During the war over 30 British and American fighter pilots disappeared whilst flying the brand new F-86 Sabre jet. This is the story of the quest to reveal their fate.
---------------------------------------------------------------
I seem to remember reading something about the captured pilots who were taken to Russia to be pumped for information, never to be released. Some info leaked out after the USSR fell apart.
Hopefully worth watching.
