The F-86D (known briefly as the YF-95A) made its first flight on December 22nd, 1949. It was developed as an all-weather interceptor version of the famed F-86A, the airplane that won supremacy of the skies from the MiG-15 during the Korean War. The F-86D was used during the 1950s both in the US and overseas to guard against possible air attack. In all, 2,506 F-86Ds were produced. The F-86D had several historic firsts. It was the first USAF airplane to have all-rocket armament and the first all-weather interceptor to carry only one person for operating the radar fire control system as well as piloting the airplane. It also set new world speed records - 698.5 mph on November 19, 1952 and 715.6 mph on July 16, 1953. Crew: One
