North American F-86 Sabre 5/5 Video
The North American Aviation F-86 Sabre (sometimes called the Sabrejet) was a transonic jet fighter aircraft. The Sabre is best known for its Korean War role where it was pitted against the Soviet MiG-15 and obtained UN air superiority. Although developed in the late 1940s and outdated by the end of the 1950s, the Sabre proved adaptable and continued as a front line fighter in air forces until the last active front line examples were retired by the Bolivian Air Force in 1994.
Its success led to an extended production run of more than 7,800 aircraft between 1949 and 1956, in the United States, Japan and Italy. It was by far the most-produced Western jet fighter, with total production of all variants at 9,860 units.
Variants were built in Canada and Australia. The Canadair Sabre added another 1,815 airframes, and the significantly redesigned CAC Sabre (sometimes known as the Avon Sabre or CAC CA-27), had a production run of 112.

Artyint123: Home Guard? When they make an obvious mistake you start to wonder about other parts of the research!
macnutz: Home Guard is British terminology probably Australian as well. What they call Home Guard is the same sort of force referred to as the National Guard in the States.
BruceK10032: Air National Guard, you mean.
macnutz: Yes. Thanks
AgentJayZ: ... like calling a .50 cal machine gun a 50 mm? I've seen this series make that oversight a few times... Never mind the talking head narrator, I just like the footage of the planes.
SpaceGazer100: I object! Why must these documents ALWAYS be about USAF and NEWER about the plane itself! Sabre saw many wars outside USAF-service including the Indo-Pakistani conflict were it among other things - fought against Folland Gnats. Even a passing remark about this? Nooo-o. >:-(
