Description
Digital fine art render of a North American F-86 Sabrejet piloted by Lt. James Thompson in the Korean War.
F-86F-1 ‘THE HUFF” flown by 2Lt James L Thompson of the 39th Fighter Squadron, 51st Fighter Wing in June 1953. He has achieved two kills in the past month and is looking for a third. His first kill in May 1953 was most likely a high ranking Russian pilot who flew a MiG-15 with a large dragon motif on its side, this was inspiration for Thompson’s crewchief, Sgt J W Manney, to paint the dragon on the Sabre soon afterwards."

J.W.Manney did not paint the Huff my cousin Charles Aurthur Burd of the Fabulous 39th did. I have more then one picture showing him painting Lt. Col. Thompson's fighter jet in Korea.
