Markings
concern an aircraft of ex East Germany Air Force.
The
Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 (Russian: Микоян
и Гуревич МиГ-15)
was a jet fighter developed for the
USSR by Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich. The MiG-15 was one of the first
successful swept-wing jet fighters, and it achieved fame in the skies over Korea, where early in the war, it outclassed all enemy fighters. The MiG-15 also
served as the starting point for development of the more advanced MiG-17 which
would oppose American fighters over North Vietnam in the 1960s. The MiG-15 is believed to have been one of the most numerous jet
aircraft ever made, with over 12,000 built. Licensed foreign production
perhaps raised the total to over 18,000.
The
Mig-15 is often mentioned along with the F-86 Sabre in lists of the best fighter
aircraft of the Korean War and in comparison with fighters of other eras.
I Hope you like
my little Mig!
Peter Athanasopoulos
