One of the most important aircraft of the early jet era, the North American
F-86 Sabre was in many ways a jet powered version of the company’s
hugely successful P-51D Mustang from WWII and an aircraft which made
full use of captured German aerodynamic research material.
Featuring a distinctive 35-degree wing sweep, the Sabre also incorporated
three nose mounted .50 calibre machine guns positioned on either side of
the aircraft’s nose, with this jet powered gunslinger sharing many design
philosophies with its famous piston powered predecessor.
On entering service with the U.S Air Force in 1949, the North American F-86
Sabre would have the distinction of not only being America’s first swept
wing fighter, but also the fastest fighter aircraft in the world at that time,
a true aviation classic.
