F-86A SABRE: Dogfight 4

Within a year of entering service in 1949, F-86As were involved in lethal duels with MiG-15s over the Yalu Valley in Korea. The Sabre proved to be a formidable dogfighter, and its pilots were pitted against the best Soviet aviators in 1950-51. By July 1953 Sabre pilots had destroyed at least 560 MiG-15s in dogfights for the loss of 92 F-86s. Photos, some in color.
