Because it was the site of the first large-scale jet-vs-jet air battles, MiG Alley is considered the birthplace of jet fighter combat.
Some consider the "kill" totals over MiG Alley controversial.
A number of computer video games based on the combat in MiG Alley have been produced, amongst them:
On June 5, 1953, he led a fighter sweep to the mouth of the Yalu River in the northwest corner of "MiG Alley" at 45,000 feet.
He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in "MiG Alley" during the war.
Nearly fifty years after its original publication, Harbison's report found new life as a training guide included in the computer game, MiG Alley.
The only advantage the Sabre pilots had was Chodo Island radar station, that provided radar coverage of MiG Alley.
When UN aircraft entered MiG Alley, these MiGs would swoop down from high altitude to attack.
Davis rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel and was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his actions in "MiG Alley" during the war.
Davis and his squadron were relocated to Kimpo Airfield to allow them the best access to "MiG Alley", where much of the air-to-air combat took place.
