The Hunters - 1958 - Preview [ War film ]

In this late fifties movie, F-84F Thunderstreak played the role of Mig-15. Not yet found any other video portraying the Streaks.
With its electrifying flight sequences and high-powered cast, The Hunters is an mesmerizing film based on the best-selling novel by veteran fighter pilot James Salter.
