The objectives of this research were to review historical literature relating to the logistics of aircraft maintenance during the Korean War; determine the principle problems encountered; find the corrective actions; and evaluate the results. The general theme was to provide a brief single source of reference relative to the accomplishment of aircraft maintenance in the combat area during the Korean War. This thesis was written to provide helpful insights for solving possible future wartime logistics problems in support of aircraft maintenance. The research discusses how aircraft maintenance was supported by the Fifth Air Force, the Far East Air Force, the Air Materiel Command, and other organizations. The logistics of aircraft maintenance was broken into four areas: (1) maintenance, (2) supply, (3) transportation, and 4) personnel. Each area was discussed by presenting the actions taken by the different Air Force organizations in the Theatre. The lessons learned by the Air Force during and after the war were included to exemplify specific areas of concern when planning for or performing future aircraft maintenance operations in a limited conventional war.
