JOE FIELD'S F-86A SABRE

American Legends

Joe Fields’ F-86 wore perhaps the largest sharksmouth seen on a Sabre during the Korean War. Sharksmouths had been popular on F-80s and F-51s early in the war, but were removed in deference to local sensibilities, with a fear that pilots of aircraft which crash-landed wearing such devilish markings might receive an unfriendly reception. This aircraft survived the war and later served with the 123rd FIS, based at Portland International Airport, Oregon.
