plus History Study Notes of the F-86 Sabre Military Jet Fighter. 

The F-86 Sabre was built by North American Aviation and was the premiere military jet fighter in the Korean War.   The F-86 Sabre is 40' 3" long, 15' high and has a wingspan of 39' 1-1/2".   The F-86 has an empty weight of 13,822 lbs and a gross weight of 18,484 lbs.  The F-86 used one General Electric J47-GE-33 jet engine producing 5550 lbs of thrust.  This aircraft did not have afterburner.  The Max range of the F86 was 750 miles, it has a max speed of 693 mph and a max climb rate of 12,200 fpm (Feet Per Minute).
There are many versions of this plane, these specs cover only one version.

On June 27, 1950,  U.S. President Truman ordered the Air Force and Navy into the Korean conflict following a call from the U.N. Security Council for member nations to help  South Korea  repel an invasion from the North.  The F-86 Sabre was the top aircraft of this war.  The eventual modification of the Saber into the F-86D Sabre Dog created one of the first all weather jet fighters.  This page covers DVD Movies and Videos for sale with a new History Study Notes Section.

Product Description
Just in from Rare Aviation, this DVD covers life on 51st Fighter Wing at Suwon in Korea during April and May of 1952. It runs over an hour. The DVD is split into fifteen distinct sections, and begins on 16 April 1952 with a short film on dust control, with troops digging and planting trees outside what appears to be the base chapel. Like most excerpts, there is no sound, but unobtrusive background music accompanies each film. Next up, taken on the same day, we see General Stearley arriving at Suwon in a B-17 to be greeted by Col. Francis Gabreski, the base - and 51st FW - commander. This film is introduced with two scrolling biographies of both Stearley and Gabreski - a nice inclusion and one that can be easily read as the 'scrolling' is not too fast. Short clips of the Mess Hall, Weather Station (30th Weather Sqn) and Motor Pool (51st Motor Vehicle Sqn) follow, all accompanied by restrained backing music. For many, the highlight of this DVD will be the Sabre footage, and there is plenty of it. First you get an 'On the Ramp' section from 30 April 1952, and there are an abundance of Sabres on view, and even the following '51st Air Police Sqn, May 1, 1952' section has plenty of Sabre action too; I particularly liked the landing views of the aircraft, which are quite unusual to see, and also give a good idea of the terrain surrounding the base. From start to finish this really DVD packs the action in; it's refreshing to see the 'behind the scenes' action included, so the unsung ground personnel also get their five minutes of fame. The film is that much better for it. Whether you were actually there, knew someone who was there, or are just a Sabre nut, this DVD is well worth getting.

For nearly half a century, the USSR and the U.S. engaged in the dangerous battle for hearts, minds and power known as the Cold War. In the name of deterrence and defense, they assembled the most advanced and powerful militaries in history. Now, this series examines the airplanes involved, introducing and interviewing the designers and pilots and detailing the advances that propelled aviation into the future. 50 minutes each.
Bombers
When waves of massive Soviet "Bison" bombers flew over stunned guests at a Moscow air show, it prompted a rapid response from the West, which was unaware that the impressive display was the result of just 18 circling prototypes. As the bomber war heated up, both sides deployed innovation and propaganda in seemingly equal measure. Now, you can tour the Cold War command centers of both sides and see how the dream of constant deterrence powered the development of some of the most successful planes in history. (V9137)
Fighters
See Moscow's 1952 revelation that its fighter jets were outdated lead to a reorganization of air defenses and the MiG-21, learn why a revolutionary Canadian fighter was abruptly cancelled, and discover how fighter defenses over the U.S. were left to Korean War vintage F-86 Sabres well into the 1950s as you watch each new Cold War fighter design inspire the other side to ever greater accomplishments. (V9138)
Quest for Vertical Take-Off
Military planners are obsessed with the vulnerability of airstrips, and the answer to this threat is the ability to fly without them. Enter the VTOL (vertical take off and landing) airplane, which Russia and the U.S. worked for decades to perfect. Here, you'll review the full history, from World War II Nazi designs through early U.S. efforts such as the "Pogo" to the versatile and successful Harrier Jump-Jet. (V9139)
Spy Planes
Armed only with cameras, they flew higher, faster and farther. They had names such as Neptune, RB-57D, U-2, RB-57F, and SR-71 Blackbird. This program tells the tales of these extraordinary creations, detailing their missions and introducing the pioneers who made it all possible. From unforgettable encounters to cancelled projects, this is the complete story of a high-stakes, high-high-altitude battle. (V9140)

Jager. With 352 aerial victories and ten years in a Soviet prison, Erich Hartmann survived uprisings, hunger strikes, and forced labor. His will to do his duty was remarkable - after being released, he was still mentally and physically fit enough to fly F-86 jet fighters in the post-World War II German Air Force. This photo album presents the different stages of his life - a man who wished to become a doctor, but whose fate it was to become and remain a soldier.

It remained the sole Sabre wing in-theater for a full year, its pilots tangling with Russian-flown jets over the Yalu River in "MiG Alley," on a near-daily basis. Through sheer skill and superior machinery, the 4th FIW prevailed, and the skies over North Korea remained firmly in U.N. control

Francis Gabreski as he returns from his 5th victory mission in his F-86; gun camera film of MiG-15s under attack

 

The North American F-86 "Sabre," like its predecessor, the P-51D Mustang, was fortuitous in its developmental history, and is one of those aircraft for which it can be said that had it not existed, history would be written differently today. The Sabre would definitely be among the Top Ten of the most significant fighter aircraft in history.

Fortunately for the United States, the Nazis were stupid enough to chase Edgar Schmued from Germany in 1938 with their policies. The immediate result two years later was the P-51 Mustang, which resulted from a design he had been toying with while working at Messerschmitt - his Mustang was more responsible than any other Allied fighter for the aerial destruction of Nazidom; the further result was that Schmued had no difficulty reading the captured German technical papers which discussed the advantage of the swept wing for jet powered aircraft as a way of delaying the onset of compressibility and therefore increasing speed; he had also been in attendance at the Volta Conference in 1935, and had left with a copy of Buseman's paper on the theoretical superiority of swept wings in high speed flight. The result was the Sabre.

Unofficially, the Sabre was the first supersonic aircraft, achieving a speed just in excess of Mach 1 in a dive two weeks before Chuck Yeager "broke the sound barrier" in the Bell X-1. The two aircraft in many ways were intertwined, because it was the research performed by the Bell X-1 that led to the creation of the "all flying tail," which greatly eased an aircraft's penetration of the sonic barrier; the Sabre was the first operational aircraft to which this was fitted. As a result, the Sabre was faster, and more importantly more controllable at those high speeds, than its Russian opponent, the MiG-15.

The Sabre was first ordered by the Air Force on August 30, 1944. At that time the design had a strong similarity to what would emerge from Republic's design department as the F-84 Thunderjet. Fortunately, in August 1945 Lee Atwood and Ray Rice were willing to listen to Schmued's descriptions of the German papers before they were officially translated. Armed with this information, Atwood went to the Air Force and got a year's delay on the delivery date of the XP-86, time enough to add in the swept wings. It was likely the most useful and important delay in aviation history. Had this not happened - had the F-86 come out of the shop looking like a slimmed down version of its naval counterpart, the FJ-1 Fury - the results of the aerial battles over Korea a few years later would have been very different indeed.

The F-86A Sabre had only been operational for a year when it went to war. The appearance of the MiG-15 over the Yalu River in North Korea in early November 1950 sent shivers through the Air Force - the unknown Russian jet was superior to everything in the inventory other than the possible likelihood of the Sabre. Within a month, the 4th Fighter Interceptor Wing - the descendant of the Eagle Squadrons and the 4th Fighter Group of World War II fame - was flying combat missions out of Suwon, Korea. For the next year, a force of Sabres that was never greater than 35-40 operational aircraft held off a Communist air command of several hundred jet fighters. The F-86A was followed a year later by the F-86E with the "all flying tail," and a bit less than a year after that by the F-86F which had an updated engine and an extended wing leading edge without slats, for upgraded high speed performance.

It is alleged that the Sabre achieved a kill ratio of 12.5:1 against the MiG-15 Faggot . This has since been lowered to around 4.5:1 in the light of access to Soviet records after the end of the Cold War. In fact, the MiG-15 was generally superior to the F-86 above about 38,000 feet and could top out at 50,000 feet, which was superior to the Sabre's operational ceiling; the MiG-15 was always at least the Sabre's equal in climb and turn radius. What won the war for the Sabres was the edge provided by the greater skill and experience of its pilots, many of who were aces of the WW2, and all of whom were better-trained than their Communist opponents.

The first official USAF Sabre "ace" was Captain (later MAJ) James J. Jabara, who achieved his 5th and 6th kills May 20, 1951. In the spring of 1953, Jabara became the only ace to fly a second tour, returning to the 334th FIS of the 4th FIW in late April 1953. The Sabres were "turned loose" on the enemy in May, 1953, at which time an "ace race" began between Jabara, his fellow 334th pilot CAPT Manuel "Pete" Fernandez, and CAPT Joseph McConnell from the 39th FIS, 51st FIW. The race began in May with Fernandez in the lead, followed by Jabara and McConnell who jockeyed back and forth. In the end, it was McConnell by a nose to become the UN Ace of Aces with 16 kills, followed by Jabara with 15 and Fernandez with 14.5.

Several exchange pilots from the USN, USMC, RAF and RCAF flew with the 39th Fighter Interceptor Squadron of the 51st Fighter Interceptor Wing, the second unit to be equipped with the Sabre in Korea (this increase in fighter power was only achieved by a threat from the Commander of the 4th FIW, Colonel Harrison Thyng, to resign his commission and go home to make public the real facts of the air war in the summer of 1952, when there were fewer than 30 operational Sabres in the Korean theatre). It has been alleged that the USAF maneuvered the assignments to keep these exchange pilots from achieving 5 kills, since the Air Force wanted to keep "acedom" in its own ranks. Only one of these pilots, MAJ John F. Bolt, USMC, broke the rule to achieve 6 kills. The second leading Marine pilot was MAJ John Glenn, a pilot who would become well-known in the immediate post-Korean period for a series of speed records, and would become even better known at the end of the decade as the first American to orbit the earth as an astronaut in the Mercury program. Glenn had three kills, which justified his airplane's big gaudy name, "MiG-Mad Marine."
