Parked on a snow-covered ramp, these Republic F-84 Thunderjets, coded 'PS-541' and 'PS-562,' represent the first generation of American jet fighter-bombers that equipped U.S. Air Force units stationed in occupied Japan during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Aircraft like these flew combat sorties over Korea from Japanese bases during the Korean War, bridging the propeller-driven aircraft of WWII and the jet age that followed. Project: 218164
