HISTORY:
The Korean War started on the 5th of June,1950 and lasted until the 27th of July 1953 when North and South Korea and its allies agreed to a ceasefire along the 38th parallel. Creating the DMZ (Demilitarized zone) which still exists today as the border between North and South Korea.
When the Korean war started, the US allied itself with South Korea, supporting its ally with troops, and equipment, among the aircraft sent to Korea was the new F-86A and later E Sabres. Slowly changes in both aircraft started to develop.
During the end of the Korean War newer variants of the F-86 Sabre were introduced, among many upgrades, the wing changed from a slatted configuration to a 6'3 (un-slated) wing. This gave the Sabre improved performance.
The F-86F-30 emerged in the skys over Korea and aided the war effort, among these aircraft is Captain Charles McSwain's mount, "Mike's Bird" F-86F-30 serial #52-4641 of the 39th FIS/51st FIW based a Suwon (K-13)
