The Dawn of the Century Series: A Revolution in Air Power
The advent of the jet engine in the aftermath of World War II ushered in a new era of aviation, characterized by unprecedented speed, altitude, and maneuverability. In response, the United States Air Force embarked on an ambitious program to develop a fleet of supersonic fighters known as the Century Series.
Among these groundbreaking aircraft were the F-100 Super Sabre and the F-101 Voodoo, which played pivotal roles in shaping the course of air combat and solidifying American air superiority.
