Fiat
F-86K MM6185
In 1953 Italy signed a licence agreement with
North American for the production of the MDAP
approved export version of the F-86, known as the F-86K. Fifty
component sets were originally
supplied out of the NAA plant. These were initially assigned USAF
serials, but after assembly
were
given Italian Matricola Militaire (MM) serials, this one being
MM6185. Over 300 would
eventually be operated by the Italian Air Force.
