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. |
