FIFTH AIR FORCE, KOREA - Its swept wings and sleek fuselage distinguish the North American F-86 "Sabre Jet", America's fastest jet fighter. This "Sabre, " flown by a pilot of the veteran 51st Fighter Interceptor Wing, surges through the Korean skies headed toward "MIG Alley" and another encounter with the Communist MIG-15's that sometimes come down form Manchuria. The "Sabre" jets of the Fighting 51st have proved themselves more than a match for the highly-touted MIGs, having shot down 100 and probably destroyed or damaged more than 151 in aerial combat.
