372 pages. Index. "The most detailed book ever about the famous F-86 Sabre... the classic jet fighter of all time, the plane that made history by taking control of the skies over Korea and drubbing the MiG-15... Contains the largest number of Sabre photos ever published in one book. As well, there are drawings, a full production list, various specs and statistics, and even drinking songs, poems and cartoons. This book will surely bring waves of nostalgia to anyone who was involved with air force life in the 1950s and will delight anyone with an interest in some of the most exciting years in military aviation." - from dust jacket.
