Mikoyan White Crest Wall Art

Mikoyan White Crest — 2 museum-grade prints in this palette. The MiG-19 Farmer entered Soviet service in 1955 as the first USSR fighter cleared for sustained supersonic flight in level cruise — a milestone that followed the MiG-17's transonic success and preceded the MiG-21's delta-wing revolution. Licensed J-6 production in China made the Farmer one of the most widely exported Soviet jet designs of the 1960s, equipping Pakistan, Egypt, and North Vietnam alongside Warsaw Pact allies. The MiG-15 Fagot fought the Korean War's defining air battles over MiG Alley from 1950 onward, introducing swept-wing jet combat to a generation of pilots on both sides of the Iron Curtain. Soviet ace Yevgeny Pepelyaev and Chinese aviators claimed hundreds of UN aircraft destroyed; American F-86 Sabre pilots answered with their own ace lists in the first jet war fought at transonic speeds.
