A MiG 15bis of the Accumulation of the LSK/LV Luftsteitkräfte/Luftverteidigung of the German Democratic Republic. An uncle of mine flew it. I'll leave all the political stuff out because I don't think he belongs in this forum. But she belonged "to us" was our first fighter. But it was quickly replaced by the much better MiG 17. The MiG 15 was actually already outdated when we got it. But the Air Force of the Federal Republic also flew North American F-86 before it then in the early 60's got the F-104G "Starfighter", the "Witwenmacher." The NVA had almost 100 MiG 15 from 1956 to 1965. All fighter squadrons were equipped with it at different times. For a long time, the MiG-15UTI double-seaters, where used for training until they were replaced by L-29 "Dolphins "from Czechoslovakia, were a much more efficient training aircraft.
