Test Shows MiG Jet Fighter Is Slower Than F-86

1953/10/17

TOKTO 0) - The Far East Air Forces said today test flights ot the Russian-built MiG-15 jet fighter plane flown to South Korea by a deserting North Korean pilot showed it slower than the American Ftt Sabre that outfought It throughout the Korean fighting.
Gen. O.P. Weyland, FEAF commander, said extensive tests of the MiG on Okinawa by American test pilots furnished the Air Force with "a great deal of valuable information" which will "enable our pilots to devise tactics to better exploit the F-86 against the MiG if they ever have to fight again."
The MiG wac tested in around-the-field flights and simulated battle with Sabres by test pilots from Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio.
They included Maj. Charles Yeager, first man to fly faster than the speed of sound.
The pilots said the MiG lacked automatic equipment and controls.
As a result, they said, the pilot was kept busy with the airplane and his attention was diverted from alert flying.
The MiG, delivered into Allied hands last month, was built late in 1951 and was the same model as those flown by the Reds in combat over North Korea.
An Air Force release said: "In comparison to the F-86, some of the deficiencies of the MiG included lower maximum speed, insufficient stall warning and poor cockpit comfort. Heating and ventilating systems were poor and the cockpit is so small that a. large man would have difficulty flying it."
The U.S. has offered to return the MiG to its "right owner" if requested and the ownership can be proven.
