{"product_id":"f-5a-freedom-fighter","title":"F-5A Freedom Fighter","description":"\u003cp class=\"Standard\"\u003eDuring the 1950s, the American Aircraft Company Northrop began developmental work into a simple and “low cost” fighter that would meet the needs of several NATO member air forces. The F-5 met the precise specification, it being a light single-seat fighter, small in size but extremely manoeuvrable and effective. It was relatively simple and cheap to produce and was operationally efficient. The initial version produced by Northrop, designated F-5 A “Freedom Fighter”, was fitted with two General Electric J85-GE-13 engines and could attain a maximum speed of 1,700 Km \/ h. Armed with two 20 mm. guns installed in the nose, the F-5 was a credible \"multi-role\" aircraft due to its weapons load capability, which could offer a wide range of offensive options for both air defence and ground attack missions. This multi-role aspect of the aircraft ensured its rapid take-up by many Air Forces.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Gift factory","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53866875453781,"sku":"1441","price":22.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0939\/0804\/2069\/files\/1441_01.jpg?v=1778416044","url":"https:\/\/the-gift-factory.co.uk\/products\/f-5a-freedom-fighter","provider":"The Gift factory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
