About the MiG 15

The Soviet built MiG 15 jet fighter was first experienced by UN fighter pilots in 1950, through the Korean War, and had been used widely by previous Eastern Block countries through 1970's. After WWII, Soviet aviation designers examined captured German aircraft and new aviation technology to produce 35-degree swept wing jet fighter with amazing speed, powerful accent, and a really high roof. At the beginning of the Korean war the MiG 15 fought head on against and overpowered the American F-84G Thunder Jets and F-80 Shooting Stars. Upon, the hurried manufacturing associated with the North American F-86 Saberjet, built to fight the MiG 15, both of these planes involved over and over in intense air-to-air combat for the rest of war.
