If any WW2 fighter was used in the Korean war in the 50's it would've been the worst of that conflict FLYBOYJ, the Jet's would massacre it.
Didn't a Corsair or P-51 get the first jet kill in Korea?

Re: Korean Jet Kills
This is the first I've heard about Yak 9's vs. P/F-80's.
Anyone show me some virtual litrature?
I know the first MiG-15 killed was by an F-80.
That fact is often related as the first jet-to-jet battle, ever.
.....apparently not exactly "correct"?
Not doubting anyone, just first I've heard about it.

.........It was mentioned earlier in the thread - there was also discussion about the export version that went to Finland where it had one of the best, if not the best kill to loss ratio of the entire war!!!!
Hmmm, the way I understand it, if its shot but is able to return to base, that's not a kill.From what I've read the first Mig 15 kill was...by a F9F Panther flown by a British pilot. The Mig Brown shot at was hit, but RTB according to Soviet data.
WHAT ABOUT THE HAWKER FURY?
claidemore said:Hawker Fury -359 khm, 2 x .303, 7 kills claimed by Yugoslavia and SAAF.
