MiG-15 fighter aircraft has became one of the post-WW2 aircraft development symbols, especially the one of the communist block lead by Soviet Union. It played crucial role in the Korean War, took part of the Suez Crisis as well as in other less important conflicts in Asia, Africa, Carribean etc. The key part sof the aircraft – the engine and the swept wing – were not developed in Soviet Union but in other countries. The swept wing was elaborated by German researchers and found its way to Soviet Unon as a part of the war prize. The engine, under licence built Rolls Royce Nene, was created by British engineers. The specifications that led to the MiG-15 birth were issued in 1947. Temporary Soviet attempts to develop their own jet engine failed and captured German Jumo 004 and BMW 003 jet engines became obsolete. Under such a situation Soviet Union decided to buy few tens of British Nene I, Nene I and Derwent V engines. The licence to built these engines was built also. Three type sof the fighter airplanes were built using these engines. The Derwent was the heart of Yak-23 with straight wing and Nene found its way to Lavochkin 168 and MiG-15, both with the swept wing and horizontal stabilizator. Soviets believed that at least one of two different wing designs will fulfil the requirements. Finally Yak-23 and MiG-15 entered the serial production but only the latter became world-wide known thanks to its performance and high numbers of airplanes manufactured. The first prototype under I-301 designation was finished on December 19 and made its maiden flight on December 30, 1947. The second prototype powered by more powerful Nene II engine flew for the first time on May 27, 1948. The third prototype joined previous two ones afterwards but test flight were so satisfying that serial production of the aircraft under designation MiG-15 was ordered on July 17, 1948. The first production aircraft was assembled in June, 1949 and the serial production was step by step launched in many facilities across the Soviet Union. The production MiG-15 was powered by RD-45F engine and armed with two 23mm cannons NS-23KM and one 37mm cannon N-37. The various bombs and unguided air-to-ground missiles (LR-130 and S-21) could be attached to the hardpoints on the wing undersurface. A bit later, in 1950 – 1951 the production of MiG-15bis begun. Powered by VK-1 engine with the higher output these were easily recognizable thanks to the modified aerial brakes on the tail. The „bises“ were produced till 1953 when the MiG-17 replaced them on the assembly lines. The Fifteens were manufactured ouside the Soviet Union. The Aero and Let facilities in Czechoslovakia and PZL Mielec in Poland built them in relatively high numbers. The twoseaters were built by Chinese also. Apart of the fighters more variants were built. The twoseater UTI MiG-15 was flown as a training aircraft. The majority of them left the production line in Czechoslovakia. In Czechoslovakia many MiG-15s and bises were underwent the modification to the fighter-bomber MiG-15SB and MiG-15bisSB version with four underwing pylons. The MiG-15R / MiG-15bisR was the recce version with cameras and MiG-15T sertved as a target-towing aircraft. The Fifteens were given with the NATO code designation. The singleseaters were coded Fagot A for MiG-15 and Fagot B for MiG-15bis. The twoseater UTI MIG-15 was known under the codename Midget. intro 1:72 SCALE PLASTIC KIT SOVIET FIGHTER MiG-15 7057 Stíhací letoun MiG-15 se stal jedním ze symbolů rozmachu poválečného letectví, zejména pak vývoje techniky na straně vojenského bloku pod kuratelou Sovětského svazu.

Stíhací letoun MiG-15 se stal jedním ze symbolů rozmachu poválečného letectví, zejména pak vývoje techniky na straně vojenského bloku pod kuratelou Sovětského svazu.

29th GIAP (Guards Fighter Air regiment) moved from Soviet Union to Shanghai in spring 1950. Soviet pilots helped to protect Chinese town from the Taiwanese aircraft and to prezent Taiwanese ships from entering the Yang-tze river delta. The Dachang was selected as a their homebase. The regiment was active in China from April to October 1951 and MiG jockeys downed two enemy aircraft in this period – F-5E Lightning recce airplane and B-24 bomber. The Chinese national insignia were painted on the 29th GIAP MiGs and all of them were overhanded to the Chinese armed forces when the Soviet unit moved back to its homeland in October 1950. From November 1950 to early February 1951 the 29th GIAP fought in Korean War. The upper part of the wings is not visible in the photos, we suppose that the national insignia was not painted here.

This aircraft took part in the air battle on April 12, 1951. The photo of this aircraft with no wings and upper part of the tail was taken shortly after the battle. Soviet pilots managed to shoot down three B-29 bombers at the cost of five MiG-15 fighters damaged. „823“ was one of them. The distinctive red nose wore the MiGs from 324th IAD (Fighter Air Division). The 176th IAP (Fighter Air Regiment) was a part of this division that was based in Korea from early April 1951 till the end of January 1952. The famous WW2 fighter ace Ivan N. Kozhedub (64 victories) was appointed the CO of the 324th IAD.

This aircraft was flown by Maj. Alexei A. Mikoyan who was was appointed the CO of the 274th IAP in 1951. This unit was established in this year and former Deputy CO Mikoyan became its second CO in succesion. Alexei Mikoyan was a member of the elite communist family. His father AnastasI.
