 Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Even the F-86 Sabre, introduced in December 1950, was inferior to the MiG-15 in many respects, although superior tactics and pilot training often allowed UN pilots to get the upper hand.
Desperate to get hold of an intact MiG for testing, the United States offered $100,000 and political asylum to any pilot who would defect with their airplane.
Eventually a North Korean pilot, who claimed to be unaware of the proferred reward, landed at Kimpo Air Base in September 1953, allowing the first detailed evaluation of the aircraft.

 IAF MiG-21s At War
The PAF had repeatedly claimed that they encountered MiGs in combat in quite a number of occasions including one when a lone Starfighter was intercepted by two MiGs.
The MiGs attacked Tezgaon runway in a steep glide maneuver and the resulting craters grounded the remaining Sabres for the rest of the war.
Of the six MiGs that were lost during the war on the western front, five pilots got killed or became POWs with one pilot Sqn.

In an intelligence coup for the west, on September 6th, 1976, a MiG 25 Foxbat of the Soviet Air Defense Command flown by Lt. Viktor Belenko landed at Hakodate airport, Japan.
The airspeed indicator was redlined at Mach 2.8, and pilots were required not to exceed Mach 2.5.
The Americans had witnessed a MiG 25 flying at Mach 3.2 over Israel in 1973, a flight that had resulted in the total destruction of its engines.

 Luchtzak Aviation - Fully armed MiG-19 fighter explodes at take-off from Mother Teresa airport, Tirana   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
A fully armed MiG-19 fighter plane exploded shortly after take-off on Thursday from Tirana's international airport, killing the pilot and forcing the temporary suspension of all commercial flights.
The Chinese-made MiG -- one of Albania's ageing military fleet of the Soviet-designed single-seater jets -- was on its way to a firing range.
The MiG took off from a military airstrip that is the continuation of the commercial runway at Mother Teresa International airport, a dual-purpose layout still found in some former communist countries.

 Arab MiG-19 and MiG-21 units in Combat
MiG 19 and 21s were used in the various Arab-Israeli wars of 1967 and 1973 as well as the continuation wars over the Sinai and Lebanon into the 1980s.
There is also coverage of the Iran-Iraq war and a small section on the Gulf War, though by that time, the MiG 21 was pretty well outclassed by its opponents.
It surprised me to learn that the Syrians were probably the most successful users of the MiG-21, having eschewed Soviet influence in tactics and developed successful ways of utilizing the best from their aircraft.

 MiG-17 FRESCO - Russia / Soviet Nuclear Forces
Two features of the aircraft were a thinner wing of greater sweep and a redesigned tail that improved stability and handling at speeds approaching Mach 1 (speed of sound).
It continued to be built under license in Poland as the Lim-5P and in China as the J-5/F-4.
China's first reproduced jet fighter plane, the J-5, successfully flew in Shenyang for the first time on 19 July 1956, and General Nie Rongzhen went in person to Shenyang to offer congratulations.

The rest of the kit then fell together very easily, and over the next few days of careful puttying and sanding the wing to fuselage joints and the basic filling the seams, the mig was up for a paint job.
It was at this juncture that one has to make a decision as to the choice of the very colourful and striking PAF F-6/ Mig-19 camou scheme’s that have served with the various squadrons of the PAF over the last almost 40 years.
So I settled for the ubiquitous F-16 style, three tone air-superiority gray finish that became the standard scheme for all PAF F-6’s throughout the 80s and 90’s, until their belated and eventual retirement last year.

 Mig 19 Review by Phil Brandt (AA 1/48)
Highly inaccurate in outline and detail; poor cockpit; giant sunken rivets; soft molding; heavy engraved panel lines; fanciful ordnance.
A quick-and-dirty ruler/calculator check using the dimensions in the Squadron "Mig- 19 Farmer" book reveals that the AA Mig scales out differently in length (1/52) and wingspan (1/48).
Strangely the distance between the wing trailing edge and stab leading edge seems O.K., so the question is where to add the approximately 3/4" fuselage plug that's needed.

An absolute wealth of information conerning the VPAF and MIG-17 (as well as MIG-19) units of the Vietnam war.
Where the book is weakest is in its examination of the tactical utilization of MiG 17 and 19 aircraft, "cross-cultural" comparisons with American aircraft and tactics, and the role of Russian pilots and intercept controllers.

During the years of American involvement in the Vietnam War, the Vietnamese Peoples' Air Force (VPAF) quickly grew from an ill-organised rabble of poorly trained pilots flying antiquated communist aircraft into a highly effective fighting force that more than held its own over the skies of North Vietnam.
