Description
F86 – Series
USAF Fighter Weapons School
The realities of jet air combat became very apparent during the Korean war when the USAF found themselves tangling with equivalent adversaries in the Mig series warplanes. Reacting to this the USAF set up an intensive and aggressive training routine at Nellis AFB. The F86 was at the early forefront of this and the formation pair in the print are an example of the professional airmanship achieved.
