F-86第四战斗机联队的佩剑王牌（王牌飞机）

美国首屈一指的喷气式拦截器进入朝鲜战争，是由苏联制造的米格-15在鸭绿江以南不断增加的存在所触发的。美国空军失去对朝鲜半岛制空权的可能性是不可接受的。第四战斗机联队接到了在朝鲜作战的号召。他们由刚接受过喷气式飞机训练的新飞行员和二战时期的老兵组成。这种飞行员类型的组合写了又写了关于喷气式战斗机的教科书。在这场战争产生的40架喷气式飞机中，第四翼拥有24架。他们也是美国空军主要的米格杀手装备。
F-86 Sabre Aces of the 4th Fighter Wing (Aircraft of the Aces)
The entry of the United State’s premier jet interceptor into the Korean War was triggered by the ever-increasing presence of the Soviet-built MiG-15 south of the Yalu River. The possibility of the USAF losing air supremacy over the Korean Peninsula was unacceptable. The 4th Fighter Wing got the call for combat in Korea. They were made up of a combination of new pilots right out of jet training and the older combat veterans of World War II vintage. This combination of pilot types wrote and re-wrote the text books on jet warfare. Of the 40 jet aces that the war produced, the 4th Wing boasted 24 of them. They also were the dominating MiG killer outfit with the USAF.
