>In Chuck Yeager's auto-biography her talks about parking one aircraft with its engine running in front of the one to be started and using the efflux to turn the engine of the rear a/c. Can't remember the type but it was something of the F86/F100 vintage.

Here I thought this thread was now dead with all those good answers above. But isn't the F86 a centrifugal compressor powered jet? If so, how do you air start one of these using ram air in the front?
Somehow I can't see it pressuirizing those burner cans enough to hold the flame in front of the turbine wheel.
