Hobby Master 1/72 Air Power Series HA4313A/B (with and without autographed stand respectively) F-86E Sabre FU-760, flown by Charles "Chick" Cleveland, 4th Fighter Wing, Korean War.
In March 1952 Charles “Chick” Cleveland left the 31st
Strategic Fighter Wing and deployed to Korea
with the 334th FIS/4th FIW at Kimpo AB, South Korea. During his nine month tour
flying an F-86E Cleveland
is credited with 5 aerial victories as well as 1 probable and 4 damaged.
Cleveland’s fifth
victory wasn’t made official for almost 50 years because his wingman of the day was killed and couldn’t verify
this. It was only when Russia admitted aircraft losses on that date that the fifth victory was
officially credited.
