In March 1952, 1/Lt Charles "Chick" Cleveland deployed to Korea and was assigned to the 334th FIS/4th FIW at Kimpo AB (K-14) near Seoul. During his nine-month tour flying the F-86E, Cleveland is credited with five aerial victories as well as one probable and four damaged. Cleveland's fifth victory wasn't made official until over 50 years later when the Russian records of MiG-15 combat in Korea were released, admitting losses on September 15, 1952, and the USAF upgraded one of his two probables to a confirmed.

Limited Edition of 300 pieces worldwide, each hand-signed by the pilot.

North American F-86E Sabre

Designed to meet a USAAF requirement for a day-fighter/escort fighter/dive-bomber, the F-86 was first flown on October 1st, 1947. The Sabre's swept-wing "flying tail" configuration and a hydraulic flight-control system were some of its many firsts in technology and design that have now become standard for jet-powered aircraft. Armed with six 50 caliber machine guns, the F-86 saw extensive action in the Korean War, where it was often pitted against the MiG-15. The Sabre pilot had to be in visual contact and within gun range of the enemy in order to attempt a shoot-down, thereby making this aircraft the last true "dogfighter" in Air Force inventory.
