Close-ups and the story behind one of the finest flying MIG-15 jet fighter aircraft in the world today by its owner pilot Richard Cooper. TheMiklkoyan-Gurevich MIG-15. One of the first successful jet fighters to incorporate swept wings to achieve high transonic speeds. In combat over Korea, it outclassed straight-winged jet day fighters, which were largely relegated to ground-attach roles, and quickly countered the similar American swept-wing North American F-86 Sabre.
