How Chinese MiG-15 Pilots Entered The Korean War

Follow

When People's Republic of China decided to enter the Korean War, it's air force was a little more than a year old. Chinese leadership still estimated that their ground component was decisive and the air component would be gradually developed as they went. With strong Soviet support, Chinese MiG15 pilots began to fly combat sorties over North Korea and in January 1951, they first met enemy aircraft. But the token force would soon be withdrawn and Chinese MiGs only appeared in combat zone again in September of 1951. The 4th Aviation division which fought for about two months claimed over 20 enemy aircraft shot down but how many of these can be confirmed? Find out in this video.
