The F-86/FJ-2 DVD
How to Fly the North American FJ-2 (1953, Color, 35:00)
*The Fighting 51st (1953, B&W, 34:00)
This revealing documentary was produced by the US Air Force during the Korean War. You'll see members of all sections of the 'Fighting 51st" Fighter Group and their F-86 Sabres in action. The film covers a typical mission, from planning through touchdown. One of the highlights of the film is an address by Francis "Gabby" Gabreski, legendary World War II ace and CO of the 51st in Korea. (He's also shown in the briefing room back in 1944 in "Ramrod to Emden" on our P-47DVD)
* We flew the Mig (1954, B&W,11:00)
In September, 1953, a North Korean defector handed over the first Russian Mig 15 to fall into US hands. This was a momentous occasion because the Mig had proven to be a worthy adversary for the F-86. The Mig was immediately subjected to comprehensive testing. You'll see Chuck Yeagar and other top test pilots putting the Mig through it's paces and hear what they learned, along with a point by point performance comparison with the F-86. Nice footage of the Mig's armaments too.
* "No Sweat" (1953, B&W, 20:00)This film was produced by USAFE, (United States Air Force, Europe) to cut down on costly air accidents resulting from pilot error. Seemingly trivial mistakes sometimes led to SNAFUs -- or worse. You'll follow a pilot through what should be an uneventful hop, but turns into anything but.. The real star of the show is the featured aircraft, an F-86D -- the all weather version -- which is shown in considerable detail.
*North American F-86F pilot's manual (438 pages) See F-86 performance charts, detailed operating instructions, cockpit photos, systems diagrams, weapons operations, flight characteristics and much, much more.
