Robert Anderson “Bob” Hoover is a decorated military pilot who flew during World War II.
The F-100 Super Sabre, known as the 'Hun,' marked America's foray into supersonic jet fighters in the 1950s. Originating from the North American firm's initiative, it evolved from the F-86 Sabre, featuring more swept wings and a unique nose-intake.
A total of 2,259 F-100s were built between 1953 and 1959. The active-duty USAF and the U.S. Air National Guard (ANG) retired the aircraft in 1971 and 1979 respectively but they remained in service with the Royal Danish Air Force and Turkish Air Force as late as 1982.
Perfecting supersonic flight was a painstaking processvwith a long history that began more than half a century ago.
