描述
Scope and content: A huge jet of flame shoots from the tail pipe of the sleek interceptor and splits the blackness of the Korean night, as the pilot tests his after-burner before take-off. The long finger of flame resembles a giant blowtorch. The after-burner, used to give aircraft additional thrust on take-off, is not actually brought into use until the take-off run has started. It is also used during air operations to increase air speed. The interceptors fly nightly combat missions protecting B-29 "Superforts" from enemy night fighter attacks, patrol deep into enemy territory and remain ever on the alert to intercept any enemy aircraft that might attempt to reach friendly territory.
