F- 86 SABRE
Two-disc DVD set
"...It is not only extemporary
work on the F-86 but also on of the best Aircraft DVD's I've seen yet."
-Duncan Curtis. author
F-86 Sabre and Air force Legends |
| The F-86 Sabrejet
was the first swept-wing fighter for the United States Air Force and made
its claim to fame patrolling "MiG Alley" during the Korean War. Through
direct digital transfers this dynamic 2-DVD set will allow you to witness
the F-86 as never before. In addition to the stunning film, there is
commentary by men who knew the Sabre well, and the F-86's primary foe, the
MiG-15. |
