Na danasnji dan, 12. aprila, osim sto je poleteo Gagarin, desio se i "crni cetvrtak" za americku avijaciju. Naime, 1951.godine, u korejskom ratu, grupa sovjetskih MiG-15 napala je 21 americku super tvrdjavu B-29, koje su pratili lovci, njih oko 200, i oborili 12 bombardera i cetiri lovca. Napad je bio " Iz zasede", a piloti su (gle cuda) bili iz 324. lovacke divizije, kojom je tada komandovao ne nepoznati general Ivan Kozedub.
Gubici amerikanaca bi bili i veci, da avioni nisu skrenuli sa pravca i vratili se nad more, gde je sovjetima bilo zabranjeno da lete.

Inace, nad Korejom je oboreno 170 super tvrdjava, koje su do pojave sovjetskih lovaca bile "neoborive" (ili se bar tako tvrdilo)
