Just out of curious how do you come out with the claim the American pilot was 5 time as good as the best russian pilot, I think you are talking rubbish. |

One thing we do know...the Mig 15 was pretty useless unless it had the British Rolls-Royce engine in it...which BTW, the design was stolen from a German prototype. The Mig 15 wasn't really a Russian aircraft, it was much more German in its origins. |

om... of course they are nonsense. an american pilot was probably 5 times as good as the best russian pilot. The Russian pilots acquited themselves well flying the MiG-15 in combat over Korea but the fact they couldn't communicate in Russian and the problem of the MiG-15 suffering from yaw instability problems above Mach 0.87 limited the success of the plane. Indeed, a couple of Russian pilots tried to outdive the F-86 but the MiG-15 ended up breaking up in the air instead. -- Raymond Chuang Sacramento, CA USA |
