The F-84 - the USAF's first post-World War II fighter - made its initial flight on February 26, 1946. It began rolling off the production lines in June 1947 and by the time production ceased in 1953, 4,450 straight-wing F-84s (in contrast to the swept-wing F-84F) had been built.

In addition to being used by the USAF, many were supplied to allied nations participating in the Mutual Security Program. During its service life, the F-84 became the first USAF jet fighter able to carry a tactical atomic weapon.

The airplane gained its greatest renown during the Korean War where it was used primarily for low-level interdiction missions. Almost daily the F-84 attacked enemy railroads, bridges, supply depots and troop concentrations with bombs, rockets and napalm.
