The F-86H "Sabre," produced from 1953 to 1955, was never used in combat. The first model in the series, the F-86A, was the U.S. Air Force's first swept-wing fighter. Flown for the first time in 1947, the F-86A set a world speed record (670 mph) the following year and later served in the Korean War, as did the variants F-86E and F-86F.
