Description
An insight into owning, flying and maintaining the USAFs legendary Cold War jet fighter.
The North American F-86 Sabre was the first operational Allied swept-wing transonic jet fighter of the post-war era. It was flown with distinction by the USAF in the Korean War where it was pitted against the Soviet MiG-15. The centrepiece of this Haynes Manual is Golden Apple Operations' F-86A, 48-178 - the sole-surviving airworthy example of the first production 'A' model, as well as being the world's oldest flying jet-powered aircraft. |
