North American F-86 Sabre in Banking Flight with Pilot Visible, U.S. Air Force

North American F-86 Sabre, U.S. Air Force. The Sabre was America's first swept-wing jet fighter and achieved legendary status during the Korean War, where it dueled the Soviet MiG-15 in the world's first sustained jet-versus-jet air combat. This aircraft carries the buzz number FU-932 and serial 12932, and is shown here banking sharply with its pilot visible at the controls. Project: 218475
