The Lim-2 was manufactured under license in Poland and was almost an exact copy of the late production Soviet MiG-15bis. The company with the license was WSK "PZL-Mielec" located in Mielec and in the 1950s quickly became the biggest aircraft producer in Poland. Production of over 500 Lim-2 aircraft and licensed VK-1 engines, named the Lis-2 took place from 1953 to 1956.
The 1st Fighter Regiment "Warsawa" was formed on July 7 1943 as the 1st Independent Fighter Squadron. On August 20 1943 renamed the Polish 1st Fighter Regiment and finally the 1st Fighter Regiment "Warsawa" on October 1943. During 1959 the 1st FR was based in Minsk Mazowiecki Air Base flying the Lim-2 Fagot B.
Designed to meet a Soviet Air Force requirement for a high-performance jet fighter, the MiG-15 was first flown on December 30, 1947. The MiG-15 was used by several communist nations-including the USSR and North Korea-and was one of the first truly successful swept-wing fighters. It could shoot down heavy bombers and could climb faster and higher than its American rival, the F-86. Fortunately for the F-86, it also turned poorly and had high mach instability, which limited it as a dogfighter. It was poorly matched with the F-86 but excelled in its role as a bomber interceptor, frequently preventing B-29s from operating during the day. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
