The
F-84 Thunderjet was the U.S. Air Force's first post-war
fighter. The prototype made its first flight in 1946.
The Thunderjet saw extensive service in the Korean
Conflict where it was used primarily for low-level interdiction
missions.
Around 4,450 "straight-wing" F-84s were
built.
The Thunderjet was further developed with swept
wings and tail. This version was designated the F-84F.
