Operating with basically the same doctrine and equipment as in World War 2, United States aviation forces in Korea in the 1950s saw no major technological breakthroughs or dramatic new applications. While air superiority was evident, the other major missions - interdiction and close air support - were not very successful. Organisationally however, the US Air Force was transformed, providing the necessary incentive for a rapid expansion post-War without previous parallel. The USAF also greatly increased its profile in national security policy, mainly at the expense of the Army.
