...the history books you're learning from were copyrighted in 1985.
Well, we actually fought against Russian pilots flying Red Chinese MIGs during the Korean War - that's been confirmed by Soviet pilots who defected. That's certainly more than never...

Actually, some of the history books I have are more than 100 years old and accurate as well - but I shudder to think of anyone viewing the '80's as "Yesteryear" -

Eeeeee cooodeesh.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.
