{"product_id":"mig-alley-to-mu-ghia-pass","title":"MiG Alley to Mu Ghia Pass","description":"\u003cp\u003e   Cecil G. Foster was born in Midland County, Michigan, on August 30, 1925. He endured economic and emotional hardship during his youth, living in a poor environment, losing his mother before he was six, and being separated from his brothers, sisters, and father. He joined the Army Air Force in 1943 as a private at the height of the World War II buildup and retired in 1975 as a lieutenant colonel. During his 32 years with the Air Force, Foster served in several different capacities--pilot, celestial navigator, radar-navigator-bombardier, intercept director, and squadron commander. A major focus of this work is Foster's Air Force career in the Korean War where he was one of the highest-scoring aces of the air war. His record of nine MiGs destroyed places him twelfth on a list of 38 aces. Every one of the aircraft he destroyed was shot down in the area known as \"MiG Alley,\" a small section of airspace along the Yalu River, which separated North Korea from China.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54232080286040,"sku":"9780786409952","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780786409952_0632651a-8f1a-4817-a312-2a90471e340b.jpg?v=1764497735","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/mig-alley-to-mu-ghia-pass","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
