SABRE: Development And Evolution Of The F-86 From Straight Wings To GUNVAL

Описание: The F-86 Sabre is a legendary aircraft, but also a complicated one to get your head around as an aviation enthusiast as there were so many different variants with so many quirks and features.

I encountered this problem when trying to compare statistics against the MiG-15 in Korea so I set out to deepen my understanding of this amazing piece of 1940's engineering. This video is a deep dive into the technical features and details of the 'narrow body', US-built day fighter Sabres. It is therefore a jumping off point into other Sabre variants, Korean air-to-air combat and other 1950s fighters.

I hope you enjoy it as it has been a long road to get this one researched and produced. I wanted to be as accurate as possible... we shall see whether I have succeeded!

PLEASE NOTE that this is an identical script to the original, which I had to take down due to an inadvertent copyright infringement.
