Prototype history and application

The North American F-100 Super Sabre fighter was developed by the United States as the first supersonic jet fighter to become the backbone of the USAF in the 1950s and 1960s. The aircraft was used during the Cold War and early 1960s, including during the Vietnam War, where it carried out various combat missions as both a fighter and attack aircraft. The F-100C and F-100D variants were upgraded with improvements in armament, avionics, and airframe. These aircraft were operated from 1955 until the early 1970s by the United States Air Force and allied NATO forces.
