In the early years of the Cold War, including a hot war on and around the Korean Peninsula, the North American F-86 Sabre was, arguably, the most recognizable American fighter aircraft to patrol the skies. Flown by the vast majority of nations allied with the United States, the F-86 was built under license in Canada for use by the Royal Canadian Air Force and for supply to several other nations by the US. In this 6-page booklet, a preserved example of a Canadair Sabre Mk. 5 at Canadian Forces Base Borden is presented. Additionally, a bit of background information including the Sabre in Canadian service, markings, armament, and the RCAF's Sabre Transition Unit can be found in the captions.
Originally published in 2013, it formed part of the Aviation Miscellany No. 2 volume and is free to view at the PlanePixelBooks Publications blog linked below.
