Hello
Information on the Vampires and Venoms sought

Were they ever used in wartime and were they successful in their
rolls.

What aircraft if any did they fly against

Pictures of any actions would be appreciated

Not on this subject but still aircraft related did the British give
to the Russians Rolls Royce engines and technology that could have
been used against Americans in Korea

Yes, the British provided the Rolls Royce Nene to Russia.

What's this about "used against America"? Whatever the History
Channel may tell you, the Korean conflict was a United nations
operation and many other nations were involved.

Doesn't the involvement of the Republic of Korea, Australia,
Belgium, Canada, Colombia, Ethiopia, France, Greece, Luxembourg,
Netherlands, New Zealand, Philippines, South Africa, Thailand,
Turkey and the United Kingdom count?

"used against America" was most likely just a general statement due
to the fact the USAF had an average of 9 fighter wings and 3 bomber
wings deployed during the war (with some RAF pilots assigned), while
the RAF had one Sunderland flying boat wing (2 squadrons) in Japan.
The USN had 2-4 aircraft carriers on the line during the entire war
(TF 77) that flew over 301,000 strike flights. The Commonwealth had
one carrier (TF 95) on the line flying over 25,000 flights. USN
escort carriers in TF 95 flew another 20,000 flights.


Indeed, but it's back to the History Channel perception that only
America was involved, as mentioned in another thread in this group.

A better picture is given here of Britain and the Commonwealth's
contribution - and wasn't that the war where a British piston engined
aircraft shot down a MiG-15?

yep a Hawker Sea Fury go the big radial !!
