Its main operational period was during the Korean War (1950-1953), where it was primarily used as a fighter-bomber and for bomber escort missions. The aircraft was employed by the United States Air Force and the air forces of NATO countries such as Italy, Turkey, France, and Belgium. Over seven thousand F-84s in various versions were built, but the “G” version gained particular popularity thanks to its increased range, in-flight refueling capability, and improved armament systems.
