The North American F-86 Sabre was manufactured from 1949 – 1956 and was America’s first
swept-wing fighter. As well as being built in the U.S. variants were built in Canada and Australia
bringing the total of all variants manufactured to 9,860 units. During the Korean War the Sabre
arrived to take on the other swept-wing aircraft of the conflict, the MiG-15 Fagot. The Americans
claim they shot down 792 MiGs while only losing 78 Sabres, a 10:1 victory ratio which is greatly
disputed.
The RCAF 421 Squadron “Red Indian” was formed in April 1942 and equipped with the Spitfire
Mk. Va’s. After WWII the squadron settled at RAF Station Odiham, England and flew Vampires
and Meteors. During the 1950’s NATO considered the largest air threat in Central Europe were
Soviet made MiG-15, 17, 19 and 21’s. In response in late September 1952 the 421 Squadron
was equipped with the Canadair Sabre Mk. 6 and was stationed at Grostenquin, France with the
2 (F) Wing of the RCAF until August 1963.
