The Russian turbo jet fighter was used during the Korean War. This jet featured a 35° of wing sweep making it fairly maneuverable. One problem was a lack of a power plant but the problem was solved when the British government allowed Rolls-Royce to supply the MIG 15 engines. The Soviets quickly copied the engine and by 1949 it was in full production.
Designed to meet a Soviet Air Force requirement for a high-performance jet fighter, the MiG-15 was first flown in 1947. The MiG-15 was used extensively against United Nations forces by several communist nations, including North Korea. Capable of shooting down heavy bombers, this swept-wing jet fighter proved in many was superior to its US contemporaries. But although it could climb faster and higher than the F-86, poor turning performance and high mach instability limited the MiG-15’s dogfight capabilities. In aerial combat against the F-86, the MiG-15 suffered high losses, but it was effective against the B-29, preventing these heavy bombers from operating in daylight. © Copyright 2003-2010 The Flying Mule, Inc.
