F-100 Super Sabre, Illustrated

By Lou Drendel

The North American F-100 Super Sabre was the first of the Century Series of American fighters. It was also the most heavily produced of that series, and as such, was flown by more USAF fighter pilots than any other Century Series fighter. It was at the leading edge of supersonic fighters (It was the first American airplane capable of level supersonic speeds) and those pilots who flew this pioneering fighter have many stories to tell of their experiences. Many of those stories appear in this book, whether in testing, peacetime Cold War missions or combat in Vietnam. Those stories are augmented by more than 200 color photos and illustrations, many of which come from hi-resolution private collections.
