SAC & The Korean War explores Strategic Air Command’s first combat experience and its role in the Korean War from 1950 to 1953. The exhibit examines SAC units operating under the Far East Air Forces (FEAF), highlighting strategic bombing and interdiction, combat air support, aerial refueling, and the movement of personnel and supplies. Through artifacts, immersive displays, a timeline of major air operations, and a floor map illustrating the changing ground war, the exhibit connects SAC’s air operations with the broader course of the conflict. Together, these elements demonstrate how the Korean War tested SAC’s capabilities and provided important combat experience during the early Cold War.
