     "The F-84 was the first practical jet designed and produced by Republic. The Thunderjet was designed to serve as an interceptor near the end of WWII. In September of 1946 a prototype of the F-84 set a new airspeed record at 978kmh. The G-type was introduced in 1952 during the Korean conflict and was matched by the formidable MiG. The F-84 still served well in ground attack situations."
