North American F-86 Sabre Banking Right
The North America F-86 Sabre jet was America’s first swept-wing jet fighter. The single-seat jet was the world’s first-line fighter for more than a decade after it was designed. More than 6,000 F-86s were manufactured by North American's Los Angeles, Calif., and Columbus, Ohio, divisions. The K model, manufactured in Turin, Italy, by Fiat, was flown by NATO forces. Four models of the craft (F-86A, E, F and H) were day fighters or fighter bombers, while the F-86D, K and L versions were all-weather interceptors. Successive models of the daylight versions, all designed to destroy hostile aircraft in flight or on the ground, were equipped with more powerful engines and armament systems that ranged from bombs and rockets to machine guns and cannon. Various models of the Sabre held world's speed records for six consecutive years, setting five official records and winning several National Aircraft Show Bendix Trophies. During the Korean conflict, the Sabre Jet flew 82,177 sorties during 32 months of combat and troop support. The version built for the Navy and Marine Corps was called the FJ-2 Fury.
