The F-86 Sabre, also known as the Sabrejet, is a transonic jet fighter aircraft originally produced by North American Aviation. In Japan, the F-86 was licensed by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, who produced it for the Japan Air Self-Defense Force in the 1950's. Due to its popularity and frequent use by the JASDF, the F-86 Sabre was featured in numerous kaiju films produced by Toho in the Showa series, making its debut in the 1954 film Godzilla.
History
Godzilla (1954)
After laying waste to Tokyo, Godzilla waded back into Tokyo Bay, where several F-86F Sabres were mobilized to fight him. The jets opened fire on Godzilla with their payload of rockets, which only served to annoy the monster, who eventually disappeared under the waves. With no means to continue fighting Godzilla, the JSDF were forced to end their counterattack.
Godzilla Raids Again
F-86F Sabres were deployed to combat Godzilla when he and Anguirus were drawn to Osaka by a huge fire at a refinery. The jets' payload was ineffective in halting Godzilla, who destroyed several of them with his atomic breath before resuming his battle with Anguirus. After Godzilla defeated Anguirus and returned to the ocean, more F-86Fs and a fleet of Lockheed T-33A Shooting Stars were deployed to attack Godzilla when he was discovered on an ice-covered island north of Hokkaido. The jets were successful in burying Godzilla up to his neck in an avalanche, and Shoichi Tsukioka then buried Godzilla completely with a missile from his own plane.
Rodan
A fleet of F-86F Sabres were sent to attack the first Rodan. Striking the side of his home in Mount Aso with their missiles, Rodan was provoked into flying away, and the jets gave chase. Despite shooting at Rodan with their missiles, the jets were all brought down by the strong turbulence given off by Rodan's wings.
