MiG Killer by Randy Green

Kratt was assigned to the 523rd Figheter Escort Squadron and earned the reputation of being the best MiG killer flying the F-84 in combat. While over Sinuiju at the Antung Airfiled on 23 January, 1951, Kratt would score a double kill over two Chinese0flown MiG-15s in less than two minutes. The 27th Fighter Escort Group would claim four MiGs destroyed, three probables, and four damaged against no losses during this action. Lt. Kratt would also down a Yak-3 three days later which would be his final air-to-air victory during the war.
