Description

The Republic F-84F Thunderstreak and RF-84F Thunderchief were mainstays of NATO’s tactical force from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s, equipping a total of eleven air forces, nine of which were European. Find here the development history and operational career of these swept-wing jets, which come from a fine lineage born from the P-47 Thunderbolt and widely distributed as part of the American military assistance program, not to mention the various projects that have been drawn from it.
