     Taking advantage of captured German data regarding swept-wing technology,
North American designed the F-86 Sabre for the U.S. Air Force shortly after the
Second World War.  First flown in October of 1947, the F-86 was intended for
use as a dive bomber or escort fighter.  A powerful thrust afterburning General
Electric J47-GE-17B powerplant gave the Sabre the ability to fly at speeds in
excess of Mach 1.  Combat experience quickly pointed out the Sabre's limited
maneuverability, and the F-86F, with new redesigned and lengthened "6-3" wings,
was developed.  This new version, combined with the superior training and
experience of American pilots, allowed the F-86 to regain control of the
Korean skies and maintain an enormous advantage over the MiG-15.
