The F-94B Starfire was primarily used by the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard during the 1950s for air defense, seeing combat in the Korean War (1951-1953) as a night fighter and bomber escort, and in Japan to defend air space. It also served as a critical interceptor in Alaska and North America, defending against Soviet bombers.

  • Alaska: Used by the 66th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron at Elmendorf AFB for Arctic defense, 1952.
  • Greenland: Deployed to Thule Air Base in 1953 as part of the strategy against Soviet bomber attacks.

Operational Use Summary:

  • Role: Primarily an all-weather interceptor used for night fighting and long-distance escort.
  • Service Time: The F-94B entered service in January 1951 and was replaced by 1957 in the Active Air Force, with Air National Guard use continuing until roughly 1959.
