"In Action Series" books provide enthusiasts, historians and modelers with outstanding photographic coverage over a wide range of selected subjects. Images are drawn from many private collections and archives to depict the title feature in its historical surroundings. In addition, each volume features original cover art, full color profiles, detailed scale drawings, scrap art and essential descriptive text to bring these histories to life. This book is part of the Aircraft In Action series and tells the complete story of the F-86 Sabre (sometimes called the Sabrejet). The F-86 was a transonic jet fighter aircraft. Produced by North American Aviation, the Sabre is best known as America's first swept wing fighter which could counter the similarly winged Soviet MiG-15 in high-speed dogfights over the skies of the Korean War. Considered one of the best and most important fighter aircraft in the Korean War, the F-86 is also rated highly in comparison with fighters of other eras.
