The F-100 Supersonic Jet Earned Its Wings Fighting Over Vietnam

On its own initiative, a North American firm took a crack at evolving the F-86 Sabre, the top U.S. fighter of the Korean War, into a supersonic design.

America s Supersonic F-110 Super Sabre Was One Amazing Fighter

America’s Supersonic F-110 Super Sabre Was One Amazing Fighter The first of the ‘Century Series’ of advanced 50’s-era fighters, the F-100 was nicknamed the ‘Hun’ as an abbreviation for 100. Here s What You Need to Remember: America’s first supersonic jet did not excel as a fighter and had beastly accident rate but it still pioneered revolutionary new technologies and tactics, and ended up doing much of the grunt work supporting hard-pressed ground forces in the Vietnam War. On October 14, 1947, an orange-painted Bell X-1 piloted by Chuck Yeager became the first aircraft to break the sound barrier in level flight. Though the rocket-powered X-1 was an experimental design, it followed that improving jet engine technology would make a supersonic fighter possible as well.
