The Republic F-84 Thunderjet appeared as an American post-war design and played a pivotal role in the early years that was the Cold War. The nimble little system provided many an Allied nation with a nuclear-capable deterrent against Soviet incursion and played an important ground-attack role in the upcoming Korean War. The F-84 appeared in three major forms - the base original F-84 Thunderjet, the improved swept-wing derivative in the F-84 Thunderstreak, and the dedicated reconnaissance bird in the F-84 Thunderflash. Throughout her operational life, the Thunderjet family earned such unflattering nicknames as the "Hog", "World's Fastest Tricycle", "Iron Crowbar" and the "Lead Sled" due to her excessively long distance takeoff rolls.
