F-100 Super Sabre Flight Manual: North American Aviation Pilot Operating Guide

Description

The first of the so-called Century Series of fighters, North AmericanÕs F-100 Super Sabre
served with distinction in Vietnam and the Cold War. Originally designed as a replacement for the F-86 fighter, the swept-wing ÒHunÓ (a nickname derived from ÒHundredÓ) debuted in 1953. After arriving in SE Asia in 1962, it came into its own as a fighter-bomber. The two-seat F-100F
performed well in the forward air control role, and conducted ÒWild WeaselÓ missions. It also flew with the Thunderbirds, and the ÒAÓ and ÒCÓ models established the worldÕs first supersonic speed records of 755.14 and 822 mph. Originally printed by North American and the USAF, this Flight Operating Manual was classified ÒRestrictedÓ. It is now declassified and is here reprinted in book form. This affordable facsimile has been reformatted and color images appear in black and white. Care has been taken however to preserve the integrity of the text.
