| Earl Berlin, Jr. San Antonio, TX | Just returned from Maxwell AFB (Air Force Historical Research Agency) and collected a significant amount of data. Will upload some of this pertinent to the YF-86 as I get to sort through it. In the meantime, would be interested in any information you can provide me for use in a book dedicated exclusively to the F-86H Sabre. 07/16/2000 @ 16:33 [ref: 453] |
