  The American Gunfighters:
American industrial might was not realized until the arrival of the Second World War. As such, the engineering and production capabilities of the nation were shifted to first gear. The result? A plethora of classic combat aircraft that would go on to take part in all the major conflicts of the mid-to-late 1900's. Our definition for "classic warbird" in this arrangement merely represents are aircraft that fulfilled its role above and beyond what was required of it. Naturally exposure in war time helps to push any airframe to the limits and prove an aircraft's capabilities through and through. The Second World War produced most of our classic warbird representations shown below as well as a few entries for the Korean and Vietnam Conflicts. But to simply stop there would not do the warbird collection justice so we have included a few more late-Cold War entities in the form of the F-15 Eagle and the F-14 Tomcat - each proven warbirds in their own right.
  Totals:
15 There are a total of 15 Classic American Warbird aircraft in the Military Factory.
