CHAPTER 1
In Battle
This chapter features an account of a Sabre engagement with MiG-15s over 'MiG Alley' to involve the reader in the atmosphere of battle from the outset.
CHAPTER 2
Setting the Scene
Sabre's first clashes with MiGs.
CHAPTER 3
Path to Combat
Anecdotal experiences of pilots concerning training and tactical instruction.
CHAPTER 4
Weapon of War
Although some early pilots found the F-86A lacked manufacturing consistency (one remarked that 'pieces kept falling off them'), the first batch of 35 F-86A-1s for the 4th FIW soon evolved into effective F-86A-5 combat machines.
CHAPTER 5
Art of War
USAF, Soviet and Chinese sources are used in studying the combat techniques brought to the battles over 'MiG Alley' by pilots from both sides.
CHAPTER 6
Combat
USAF pilots describe their experiences in the F-86A, explaining how their combat tactics evolved and assessing their engagements. F-86As also flew ground attack missions, although the later Sabre variants were better equipped for this.
CONCLUSION
APPENDICES
F-86A units and bases in Korea 1950-51, notable pilots involved in these early A-model actions and aces of that period.
