The North American F-86 Sabre was the first operational Allied swept-wing transonic jet fighter of the postwar era. It was flown with distinction by the USAF in the Korean War where it was pitted against the Soviet MiG-15. The centerpiece of this Haynes Manual is Golden Apple Operations’ F-86A; 48-178; the sole-surviving airworthy example of the first production Sabre A model; as well as the world’s oldest flying jet-powered aircraft.

Review
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Per Professor Walter LaFeber this is the standard account of the Korean WarBy Whetstone GuyThis ia an excellent book. It is well documented. I was not interested in learning about the battles and the book does not cover this subject much. The book deals with why the US agreed to fight; the progress of the War; General MacArthur and his successors; the negotiations with the Russians; the Chinese; the North Koreans; and the South Korean leader. The concerns of Europe about the War are also discussed.
