The F-100 Super Sabre may have been superseded by the superior technology of the F-105 Thunderchief and the F-4 Phantom by the Vietnam War it remained in service. The Super Sabre was deployed as an air defence fighter, and was later given nuclear capability. The F-100's toughness, adaptability and reliability made it ideal for the incessant missions that were demanded by close support and counter-insurgency missions. 242 Super Sabres and 87 aircrew were lost during the war but their role, particularly in developing the tactics used for discovering and destroying SAM sites, was invaluable. This book describes some of the most important actions that the F-100 took part in, looks at the pilots who flew it and analyses the impact of the aircraft on the war.

F-100D/F Super Sabre Walk Around. North American's F-100 Super Sabre was the first of the famous Century Series fighters, and America's first capable of supersonic speed in level flight. During the Cold War, it stood as a guardian of freedom around the world. Capable of carrying nuclear weapons while operating from bases in the US, Pacific and Europe, it helped deter communist aggression. In Vietnam, Super Sabres shouldered the bulk of the attack role for many years provided a platform for high-speed forward Air Control, and pioneered the Wild Weasel concept before the F-105s and F4s took on the role. Under peaceful skis, performances by the USAF Skyblazers and Thunderbirds served to awe the crows and inspire future pilots. At the end of their service lives, more than 200 F-100s served as target drones, training the crews of later generations of fighters. More than 150 photographs, line drawings and 20 color profiles.
They had the most dangerous job n the Air Force. Now Bury Us Upside Down reveals the never-before-told story of the Vietnam War’s top-secret jet-fighter outfit–an all-volunteer unit composed of truly extraordinary men who flew missions from which heroes are made. In today’s wars, computers, targeting pods, lasers, and precision-guided bombs help FAC (forward air controller) pilots identify and destroy targets from safe distances. But in the search for enemy traffic on the elusive Ho Chi Minh Trail, always risking enemy fire, capture, and death, pilots had to drop low enough to glimpse the telltale signs of movement such as suspicious dust on treetops or disappearing tire marks on a dirt road (indicating a hidden truck park). Written by an accomplished journalist and veteran, Bury Us Upside Down is the stunning story of these brave Americans, the men who flew in the covert Operation Commando Sabre–or “Misty”–the most innovative air operation of the war. In missions that lasted for hours, the pilots of Misty flew zigzag patterns searching for enemy troops, vehicles, and weapons, without benefit of night-vision goggles, infrared devices, or other now common sensors. What they gained in exhilarating autonomy also cost them: of 157 pilots, 34 were shot down, 3 captured, and 7 killed. Here is a firsthand account of courage and technical mastery under fire. Here, too, is a tale of forbearance and loss, including the experience of the family of a missing Misty flier–Howard K. Williams–as they learn, after twenty-three years, that his remains have been found. Now that bombs are smart and remote sensors are even smarter, the missions that the Mistys flew would now be considered no less than suicidal. Bury Us Upside Down reminds us that for some, such dangers simply came with the territory.

Following the Second World War, major advancements in aviation technology allowed the development of jet aircraft with capabilities undreamt of only a few years earlier. During the 1950s, the US Air Force placed six new jet fighters into service, which became known as the Century Series Fighters. In this publication the histories of the F-100 Super Sabre, F-101 Voodoo, F-102 Delta Dagger, F-104 Starfighter, F-105 Thunderchief, and the F-106 Delta Dart are related.
The North American F-100 Super Sabre was the world's first jet fighter capable of supersonic speed in level flight. This expert, detailed history presents the last word on this well-loved aircraft.
