Wings of Russia. Fighters. Jet Era. (Episode 3 of 18)

Fighter, due to its destination, must be superior over any type of aerial vehicles. One of the most important parameters for success is speed.
During years of World War II, max speed of piston engine powered fighters had significantly increased. But propeller couldn't already ensure speeds beyond some limits. Exit from this dead-end was seen in construction of fundamentally new type of engine - a jet engine.
Following aircrafts are featuring in this episode:
1946 - BI-1, Yak-15, MiG-9, La-150, SU-9
1947 - SU-11, I-350, MiG-19, La-160, La-15, Yak-25
1949 - Yak-23, MiG-15, MiG-17, La-176, SU-17
I-320, La-200, Yak-25, E-2, E-4, MiG-21, SU-7, SU-9, SU-11, Yak-28P, La-250, TU-128

@BitnikGr Thanks for great documantery.You have any dog fight documantery like history channel . Wee sick of stupid propaganda American documentaries

[BitnikGr]

@ISAACASIMOV30 You are welcome.

I have about 300 Russian documentaries about aviation. Some with unique and rare footage. Some with a lot of propaganda. Some very modern and high quality. But there is no Soviet or Russian documentary series with deep insight details of specific air-to-air battles equivalent to "Dog Fights" of History channel.

"After the disastrous B-29 Vs. Mig-15 air battle of October 23rd 1951, which later became known as "Black Tuesday"...

Book cover:

(remove spaces around dot prior com).

There are references if you search for them properly. Google for "B-29 Black Tuesday".

Bless you Bitnik! bless you comrade!

[zaostrog]

objectivity was always Russian virtue,admitting their defect or American superiority was never their problem,so far for the other side the story is rather different

[normison69]

@BitnikGr Pfft the Dogfights series focus only on Americans and they always win in those documentaries and never lose even a single plane and i have watched like 3-4 of the full series of dogfights.

@ketamynx /wiki/1951_in_aviation#October

October 23 - Ten U.S. Air Force Boeing B-29 Superfortresses attack an airfield in North Korea; three are shot down, four make emergency landings in South Korea, and three badly damaged aircraft return to Okinawa. It is the last daylight combat mission flown by the B-29.
