After James Jabara was officially confirmed as the first American jet ace in history, he was sent back to the USA. The next interesting question became who would be the next man to follow. The most likely candidates were Captains Richard Becker and Ralph Gibson.
When a large clash between 'North Korean' MiG-15s and American F-86 Sabres took place over the MiG Alley on 9 September1951, both of them had four kills to their credit. Both of them would participate in the clash. Which one would eventually become the second American jet ace (and why he might have even been the first one), you can see in this video.
DCS World once again proves to be up to the task of emulating the famous dogfights of the Korean War.
