Original – a brief history of the F-84E Thunderjet

The North American F-84E Thunderjet was a jet fighter and attack aircraft designed for the United States Air Force (USAF). The aircraft entered service during the Cold War era, from 1949 onwards, and played a significant role in the Korean War (1950-1953), where it was used for escort, air-to-air combat, and ground attack missions. In addition to the USA, Thunderjets were operated by the air forces of NATO countries, including France, Italy, Belgium, Greece, Turkey, and the Netherlands.
