This poster depicts the four important early jet fighter aircraft adopted by the U.S. Air Force in the late forties and early fifties. The Bell P-59 Airacomet was the America's first jet powered fighter. The Lockheed P-80 (later F-80) Shootingstar was the first jet fighter to see combat in Korea. The Republic F-84 Thunderjet was designed as the first jet powered fighter-bomber. The The North American F-86 Sabre was the first U.S. Air Force jet fighter to utilize a swept back wing and gained the reputation a the "Mig killer" in the Korean conflict.
