SABREJET! —That word instantly brings to mind thoughts of silver swept wing jets locked in mortal combat in the skies over Korea. But the North American Aviation (NAA) F-86 Sabre was much more than that. Not only was it the best clear-air fighter in the world at that time, the basic design would evolve into the only production single seat all-weather jet interceptor, an atomic capable fighter-bomber and a carrier-based fleet interceptor and fighter-bomber for the Navy. The F-86 series was built by many different manufacturers throughout the Free World and served to counter the Soviet threat during the 1950s.
The F-86 Sabre was just one of the superb designs to come from North American Aviation. During the 1940s and 1950s North American literally "owned" the military aircraft sales market, not just in America, but throughout the Free World. This aviation giant began life as a holding company in the early 1930s with no designs of its own. Originally founded in 1928. the company was reorganized in 1933 with James H. "Dutch" Kindclberger as President. Under Kindelbergcr. NAA entered the military aviation business.
