Yet ANOTHER Mustang. This time it's a two-fer. F-82 Twin Mustang from the Korean War. Yes, I'm on a Korean War kick recently. Wait'll ya see my next one! And yes, the pilot and r/o were in fact inspired by an album cover. Any Sabbath fans out there ?

The Royal Australian Navy’s Fleet Air Arm operated a total of 101 Hawker Sea Fury fighters. These 101 aircraft were the ones officially taken onto the RAN’s books. Prior to delivery of the first 25 Sea Furies to HMAS Sydney, conversion training was undertaken with Royal Navy aircraft in the UK. Additionally, the Royal Navy provided attrition aircraft during the Korean conflict to replace aircraft lost or damaged.

During the Korean War, HMAS Sydney operated 805 and 808 Squadrons with Sea Furies (along with 817 Sqn with Fairey Fireflies). With the arrival of HMAS Vengeance, 808 Sqn was transferred to the new carrier and replaced by 850 Sqn. 850 also served onboards Vengeance.

Sea Furies were replaced by the Sea Venom from 1955, with 805 Sqn the last to squadron to transition on 18 March 1958. Once retired from frontline service, the Sea Furies were transferred to 723, 724 and 725 Squadrons for training purposes.

Since its inception during the Civil War, 25 Medals of Honor have been awarded to U.S. Army soldiers of Native American descent. The first soldier of Sioux Nation heritage to receive America’s highest military honor was Master Sergeant Woodrow W. Keeble, a combat veteran of World War Two and the Korean War who earned the Medal of Honor for actions on 20 October 1951. During WWII, Keeble was attached to the 164th Infantry Regiment when it became the first Army unit sent to reinforce the Marine Corps’ defense of Henderson Field on Guadalcanal, earning repute for his skill with a Browning Automatic Rifle. Keeble fought his way through the Pacific Theater’s island-hopping campaign along with the rest of the 164th and was discharged in 1946. Keeble’s retirement was short-lived however – in 1951, Keeble rejoined the fight as part of the 19th Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division in Korea. As a platoon leader during Operation Nomad-Polar, the final major U.N. offensive of the war, Keeble distinguished himself during an assault against Chinese positions on Hill 765. As his platoon’s advance ground to a halt under withering fire on the steep hillside terrain, Keeble drove forward in a harrowing one-man attack. Although he was being showered with grenades and machine gun fire Keeble pressed forward, destroying three enemy machine gun nests and flooding enemy trenches with automatic fire. Buoyed by their sergeant’s valor, the men of Keeble’s platoon rallied to his aid, securing the hilltop and completing their mission. Keeble was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross in 1952, upgraded to the Medal of Honor in 2008. He also earned two Silver Stars, two Bronze Stars, and four Purple Hearts across his Army career. #Armyhistory #USArmy #TRADOC #MilitaryHistory #WWII #KoreanWar #MOH #WorldWarTwo #WW2 #WW2History #Sioux #MedalOfHonor Posted @withrepost • @armyhistory #nativeamericanheritagemonth (at Spring Hill, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClL9DivuaZN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

(Book 98) Exceptional. Gentlemen, military history enthusiasts, this one is for you. "Devotion" follows the true story of two naval aviators during the Korean War, one of whom, Jesse Brown, was the first black naval carrier pilot. This book was about so much more than race. The story may be a bit hagiographic, but I could hardly put it down. These were real people, and their story is told in a gripping, well-paced, and compelling way. I didn't know much about the Korean war beyond what's briefly covered in US History II and a few things from MASH. I did some light research - mostly checking to see who would live through the events of the book. Knowing how it would end did not make finishing the book any easier, but this is a story worth reading. Definitely looking forward to seeing the movie soon. This may be my nonfiction of the year. #read #read2022 #nonfictionbooks #militaryhistory #koreanwar #devotionmovie #usnavy #gonavy #navalaviation https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck0q6a2AGC9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
