The General Electric J-47 engine with all of it's issues was a key to the Sabre's success. Also it was numerous and powered many aircraft of its day including the B-45, B-47 etc...
as an aside, an aviation book on the North American B-45 Tornado that I helped contribute and edit the engine portion was just published and is available on Amazon. Lots of engine info there. The Author sent me a nice autographed copy with a letter of appreciation.
