HOGSHIP: The Last Of The Sports Models Was A Sabre Like No Other

The F-86H was the last of the land-based Sabre variants. Featuring the most power of any Sabre, 20mm cannons and Sidewinders as well as nuclear weapon delivery capability, it was a super version of the legendary F-86. And yet it is mostly forgotten in the contemporary reckoning, simply a footnote on the Korean War A, E and F.

This video therefore focuses entirely on the Hog. It is a fascinating aircraft that looks a lot like a Sabre, but is arguably a different beast entirely.

"North American F-86H Sabre Hog" by Earl Berlin is the definitive (actually, the only) book on the F-86H. To be honest, although it contains a mass of detail, it is slightly awkward to read.
