This review is from: The Age of Flight - Mig Alley [VHS] (VHS Tape)

After Breaking out of Korean WAR on 20,June,1950,
Threr were no competable enemy Fighters in korean Sky.
After active invovmennt of Chinese Communist Army,
On 1,Nov,1950,a flighting formations of F-51 Mustang
near the Yalu River, 6 shinny,fast flying airplanes
approached to F-51S.which were swept winged Jet fighters.
later they knew as the MiG-15s. It was 1st appearing MiG-15
in Korean Air.7 days later on 8,Nov,1950,flight wing of F-80C
Shooting Star's were engaged by 6 MIG-15 near the Yalu River.
Among spreading F-8OC,lT.Brown chase down to a MiG-15,He bursted
6X12.7mm machine guns and smoe trailing MiG-15 fell down to the
ground. That was 1st Jet-vs-Jet AIR Combat of the world, and 1st
jet Kill !.MiG-15 seems lighter agile,faster,better manuverd,tight
turnable,better rate of climb,high altitued,heavier armamented
Russian Jet Fighters. There after Straight winged, obsolute fighters
such as F-80C, F-84G,F9F,and Metere F.8 were released from fighting
with MiG-15s.Immediately most believable,recent, swept-winged F-86A
Sabre was introduced for combat with MiG-15.
F-86A has faster dive speed,better maneuverbility in low altitude,
but armamament does not match with MiG-15(1X37mm cannon, 2X23mm cannon)
F-86 series has all 6X12.7mm machine guns.Better trained pilot and
good gunsight becme favourable tofighting with MiG-15S.
F-86E and F-86F cames with better Air Powers than MiG-15S IN Combat.
Because MiG-15 desined and heay armoured attacking B-29 like slow, heavy
bombers. B-29 had many loss by Attacking MiG-15.
Russian piloted Mig-15 just fight thieir favourable "MiG ALLEY" for
keeping secret of invovment of Russian Pilots in Korean War !
