JASDF F-86 Sabre Markings – Historical Background

The Japan Air Self-Defense Force operated this type of aircraft from the mid-1950s until the 1980s, introducing them after Japan regained its defense capabilities. The F-86s were used to defend Japanese airspace, making them a vital part of the military alliance with the USA.
