We cover the technical breakthroughs, the combat history, and the engineering "madness" that defined these airframes: F-100 Super Sabre: The first USAF fighter capable of supersonic speed in level flight. The Century Series (F-101 to F-106): From the "Missile with a Man in It" (F-104) to the nuclear-capable F-105 Thunderchief.
