During the 1958 Taiwan Straits crisis, the USAF also deployed F-100D\/F-100F of the 72nd Tactical Fighter Squadron to Chiayi AFB on Taiwan. Although these F-100 received less attention from the press and the public than the high-profile F-104, the LIFE Magazine archive has more photos of the individual F-100 than of the Starfighters.

One question: These photos indicate that the F-100 unit deployed to Chiayi was the 72nd Tactical Fighter Squadron at Clark AB, PI. But the USAF documents I have (for example, see F-104 on Taiwan During 1958 Taiwan Straits Crisis<\/a> and several webpages say that it was the 388th Tactical Fighter Squadron at Cannon AFB. Who is correct?<\/p>\n
