F-100D/F Super Sabre Walk Around
(Soft Cover)
Product Code: SS5548

Description
North American's F-100 Super Sabre was the first of the famous
Century Series fighters, and America's first capable of
supersonic speed in level flight. During the Cold War, it stood
as a guardian of freedom around the world. Capable of carrying
nuclear weapons while operating from bases in the US, Pacific and
Europe, it helped deter communist aggression. In Vietnam, Super
Sabres shouldered the bulk of the attack role for many years,
provided a platform for high speed Forward Air Control, and
pioneered the Wild Weasel concept before the F-105s and F-4s took
on the role. Under peaceful skies, performances by the USAF
Skyblazers and Thunderbirds served to awe crowds and inspire
future pilots. At the end of their service lives, more than 200
F-100s served as target drones, training the crews of later
generations of fighters.
More than 150 photographs, line drawings and 20 color profiles;
