F-100 Super Sabre

S11 E5: The F-100 Super Sabre was the first USAF fighter capable of smashing the sound barrier in level flight. Its greatest legacy is its service during the Vietnam War, where it defended ground troops by packing a serious punch and penetrated deep into the danger zone to seek out hidden enemies. This is the inside story of the cutting-edge fighter-bomber, told through rare combat footage and firsthand accounts from brave pilots who flew the supersonic jet into never-before attempted missions, flying in roles it was never designed for.
