The Soviet Union's swept-wing fighter, controversially powered by a copied Rolls-Royce Nene jet engine, caused a sensation and more than a few problems for its opponents when it appeared during the Korean War. Large numbers of 'Fagots' were built and saw service with many air forces and many two-seat trainer MiG-15UTI 'Midgets' were also constructed. Compiled from a wealth of first-hand Russian sources, there is a comprehensive history of every evolution of the design and its service. Tables list intricate details of many individual aircraft. 211 b/w + 18 colour photos; 7pp colour profiles; 18pp line drawings. 160 pages. Softback
