Editorial Reviews:
1st Lt. Joseph E. Fields had an F-86 that wore perhaps the largest shark's mouth seen on a Sabre during the Korean War. Sharks' mouths had been popular on other planes earlier in the war, but were removed in deference to local sensibilities, with a fear that pilots of aircraft which crash-landed wearing such a devilish markings might receive an unfriendly reception. Fields' aircraft survived the war and later served with the 123rd FIS, based at Portland International Airport, Oregon. 1:72-scale replica has a 6.2" wingspan.
