The North American F-86F Sabre was unquestionably one of the best fighters of its time. In September 1945 a fighter was developed at North American with the designation XP-86, which would become an aeronautical legend. In February 1949 the USAF lst Fighter Group was equipped with the F-86A-5. The start of the Korean War in November 1950 accelerated the further development of the F-86 Sabre. Already in August 1949 the firm Canadair had received a licence to build the F-86. With the introduction of the ultimate Sabre, the F-86F, Canadair extended its licence to build yet another variant. The final version was the Sabre Mk 6 with larger wings and extendable slats. On 2nd September 1958 the first pair of Sabre Mk 6s were handed over to German Air Force Weapons Training school 10 at Oldenburg. Three of the four fighter squadrons they were originally intended for received the Mk 6. One of these was Fighter Squadron 71 "Richthofen" at Ahlhorn under the command of the legendary fighter ace Wing Commander Erich "Bubi" Hartmann.
