In fact there was an American pilot that downed 4 Migs in the same dogfight when Migs attacked him. He landed his Panther full of holes but still flyable. That's why during WWII Grumman was called ironwork.
@@bong4538 Not sure if you are only telling your personal story here or if you are trying to tell me that I was cunfusing the Phantom with the Corsair. But if so, then no, I actually mean the Corsair
The F-86 also had a flying tail which made it handle better in the trans-sonic region whereas the MiG-15 had a tradtional horizontal stabiliser and elevator arrangement.
This is true! Also, having the horizontal stabilizer and elevator at the top of the tail was a design misconception that caused a lot of trouble over time. The F-104 had one. There is a danger of the main wing blocking out the airflow over the tail during certain kinds of stalls, creating a severe loss of control. The British airliner, the BAC-111 had a "T" tail, and their "answer" to the problem was to have a stick shaker that would warn the pilots when they were about to get into trouble. That's a crude "fix" at best. The best place for the tail surfaces, preferably a flying tail, was low on the fuselage, but the Russians were copying a lot of data from the WWII Germans and, for once, the Germans got it wrong. The transonic handling qualities of the Mig-15 were shaky at best. For all of that, it had a lot of good qualities too.
That is true, but, as ever, it is more complicated than that. The first model F-86A's didn't have the flying tail. They had conventional tails with elevators on the back. 500+ built. It was the "E" model that switched to the all flying tail where the fin as a whole moves. 450 built, and then the "F" model as well, and that was the majority with over 2200 built.
Oh thanks a bunch bro. Enjoyed your Vid huge ! Am a cancer patient ( worry not because I have both fists doubled up and will fight like a junkyard dog ) and sometimes I get bored as heck.

mig guns harder for pilots to aim, but hit a lot harder when they landed. sabre had better ballistics, lower caliber. its a classic 6 in one hand situation.
A fair fight as far as equipment, but it's the pilot that counts in the end. With that said, I knew a couple of retired Air Force fighter pilots who said that the F 86 was the sweetest flying plane they had ever flown.
Boosted controls, automatic leading edge slats, a stabilator and the newer lead computing gun sight were refinements that gave the Sabre an edge. Boosted controls levels the playing field by reducing physical exertion in a tight turning fight. The Canadians had the most powerful Sabre using their own turbine of 7,500 lbs thrust.

The wing fences are not there to solve the "hand built" assertion. But to solve an issue the F86 also shared. F86F's had similar fences, and so do planes up till this day.
@@drperky7008 MIg17, Mig 19, A-6 intruder, a lot of airliners use just a fence along the leading edge. And its not to fix "build quality" issues, but it one way to fix an aerodynamic issue all swept wing aircraft have. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wing_fence
@@Ace-Av8er Wing fences are a rather simple solution to maintain stable, front-to-back airflow over highly-swept wings at high speeds. Although they're highly effective for this purpose they also cause a degree of increased aerodynamic drag, especially while maneuvering at lower speeds. Western designers have traditionally looked at more complex solutions at solving high-speed airflow deviations over swept wings, preferring to not use wing fences at all if avoidable. If not, they tend to use the smallest fences possible. For example, the first fighters designed to routinely operate at supersonic speeds in level flight were the North American F-100 Super Sabre and the Mikoyan/Gurevitch MiG-19 "Farmer". Both aircraft featured highly-swept wings designed to decrease compressibilty near, at, and beyond Mach 1 at altitude. The F-100 used wide-span, variable-position leading-edge slats on both wings, combined with two very small wing fences near the tips to stabilize the high-speed airflow over the wings. The MiG-19, by contrast, used two extremely large mid-span wing fences with no variable leading-edge slats at all to solve the same purpose. This amounts to different design philosophies used by the designers of different countries to solve similar problems...
That comes from the inherent bias that most westerners have against the USSR then and Russia now. They must find flaws even when they're not there! The USSR or Russia always has to be below the US' level on everything. Notice how he said the Russians got 'help' from German designs while the US, which essentially built the same thing, simply 'used' German designs?
This was a fantastic video! I was due to visit the MoF from Australia last year but alas covid happened. I look forward to visiting again in a few years.
The F-86 Sabre would have much better destructive firepower if it had been armed with four or six 20 mm cannons instead of the six .50 cal machine guns. The USAF learned its lessons after the Korean War and armed the newer F-86Ds and F-86Hs and the later F-100s with 20 mm cannons.
Interesting how people say the Me-262 was the superior aircraft over Allied jets because it had axial flow engines of the future but ignore the fact that the F-86 had an axial flow engine while the Mig-15 had a radial flow engine.
I am glad you guys were able to take on Matt from Wings Over the Rockies! I loved his content from there and it's great to have him at my favorite museum!
This video gives the impression that both aircraft are roughly the same size. When looking at both from above, at Smithsonian # 2 in Virginia, the Mig-15 looks much smaller, a virtual sports car.
Yeah interesting video obviously but I have to say, get on with it as this video is not supposed to be for the entertainment of young kids but for grown men!! I have to move on otherwise I'll be here until next summer!!
wow what a great video. some new things there. i had no idea of the mig 15 being hand built! indeed in a russian documentary soviet pilots say the koreans had around 20 hours of training and that was it such was the pressure.
These two planes really stand out! Basically my two favorite aircraft, and dont forget the dr-1 triplane that the red baron died in! Its the coolest of all.
Hmmm. He concludes the major difference between the two was in the mid and later Korean war the F86 used more experienced pilots. In the beginning, the Russians did. So....that's not really a reason to conclude the F86 was that much better.
Yeah, I was going to say the same thing when I saw your comment. The conclusion about which air raft was better was due to pilot skill rather than the characteristics that distinguished the airplanes.
The last MiG-15 pilot to be shot down in the Korean War was, by the Russians' own admission, a Russian pilot. Per standing orders, he committed suicide to avoid capture.
I think it was the British Labor party that gave the NENE engine to Stalin. (for research purposes of course). Australia, the RAAF, later took up the Sabre and built it around the RR Avon engine, removed the wing leading edge slats, bigger air intake, 30 mm canon and a lot bigger range. cheers.
I know the ALP can't spell, but the British equivalent could - they just put Comradely solidarity above the national interest As to the CAC Avon Sabre - spot on.
I've been here, at the Museum of flight, 3 years ago? Very cool. They have many aircraft here. Including some of Lockheed's most iconic aircraft. There's a Constellation parked out front, beatiful passenger airliner. They have one of NASA's F105 Star Fighters hanging from the ceiling, and an Archangel A12 as the centerpiece of their indoor display. Outside, A B29, A Concord you can board! And lots of others. There's a diner nearby that fits the theme. Way to hilight a very cool Aircraft Museum.
Hey Matt, your pronunciation is incorrect; its not the 'Ne-Ne' engine (lol) its pronounced 'Neen'; the engine was named after the river Nene in England. Rolls Royce named some of their jet engines after Rivers in England such as the Trent and the Derwent.
You missed a little bit of interesting (and facepalming) information on the Russians getting the Nene. Aside from little things like having shoes with special soles when they were given a tour of the plant that made them (picking up metal shavings for material analysis,) the British had them promise they'd only use the engines for civil use. To which the Russians, of course, went "Da, da, of course, we promise!" ... and promptly shoved it in fighter aircraft.
That's crazy to put a complete rookie into a MiG with that complicated aiming system. I bet that was a huge factor in that lopsided ratio. It must have been overwhelming for those new MiG pilots.
I don't believe the Soviets put wing fences on the Mig-15 because of poor hand-built construction as you suggest. They put them there because of design flaws inherent to the wing itself. They were there to block span-wise air flow. The Americans would have used vortex generators instead.
In an otherwise excellent documentary, you left out an important fact. Yes, the Mig 15 outperformed the F 86 at higher altitudes, but on the deck the Saber and the Mig were were evenly matched. In fact, the Saber was as much as 50 mph faster than the Mig nearer to the ground.
@@IncognitoDudeXD not gonna lie, that would be a biy of a let down. Soviets and the other tens of countries that used mig15s probably dont keep too many secrets abt its design tho

All these “Which plane was superior?” videos bypass the most important variable: the pilot. The race to out-develop the other side in weapons tends to produce equipment that is roughly equivalent, making the experience and skill of the pilot crucial.
Today, Russian and American historians such as Cookie Sewall and Diego Zampinni admit that on 10/01/1955, not 10/08, there was the first kill of a jet by another jet. An F-80 Shooting Star patrol engaged three MiG-15s and veteran First Lieutenant Semyon Fyodorovich Khominich spotted 10 F-80F aircraft. Khomonich turned left, leaving the sun behind in combat formation. As a result of their attack, an F-80 was shot down. He opened fire at 800 meters, and stopped firing at less than 200 meters. Coming out of his attack, the lieutenant struggled to gain altitude. Major Bordun with the rest of the team attacked four F-80s that were trying to attack Khominich. The Americans went to the others without success, and finally abandoned the fight..." "...The Russian-built fighter was flown by five Air Force pilots. The F-86A-5 Saber underperformed when compared to the MIG-15. However, the superior training and tactics of the US pilots established a "kill ratio" better than 8:1 over MIG. [ kill-ratio also fixed: 1.3 to 1 ] (Photo: National Archives and Records Administration) *www.aviation-history.com/mikoyan/mig15.html*
The F-86 looking mildly suprised like •o•
And the MiG 15 looks just astounded like •○•
And that’s the real difference between them. The look of mild surprise always wins against completely dumbfounded.
Fun fact the first MIG-15's downed during dogfights in Korea weren't downed by F-86's they were downed by the Navy's lovely F9F Panther.
In fact there was an American pilot that downed 4 Migs in the same dogfight when Migs attacked him. He landed his Panther full of holes but still flyable. That's why during WWII Grumman was called ironwork.

The RR engine is pronounced NEEEEN or Knee with an "n" on the end, It's part of the river series and that is still going with the Trent.

All these “Which plane was superior?” videos bypass the most important variable: the pilot. The race to out-develop the other side in weapons tends to produce equipment that is roughly equivalent, making the experience and skill of the pilot crucial.
The issue was actually addressed in the video. Between skilled pilots, the score between the two planes was almost even.
I would love to see them resurrect this plane. I feel like there is a place for it in our arsenal.

That was the first time that jacket was ever worn
Today, Russian and American historians such as Cookie Sewall and Diego Zampinni admit that
on 10/01/1955, not 10/08, there was the first kill of a jet by another jet. An F-80 Shooting Star patrol engaged three MiG-15s and veteran First Lieutenant Semyon Fyodorovich Khominich spotted 10 F-80F aircraft. Khomonich turned left, leaving the sun behind in combat formation. As a result of their attack, an F-80 was shot down. He opened fire at 800 meters, and stopped firing at less than 200 meters. Coming out of his attack, the lieutenant struggled to gain altitude. Major Bordun with the rest of the team attacked four F-80s that were trying to attack Khominich. The Americans went to the others without success, and finally abandoned the fight..."
"...The Russian-built fighter was flown by five Air Force pilots. The F-86A-5 Saber underperformed when compared to the MIG-15. However, the superior training and tactics of the US pilots established a "kill ratio" better than 8:1 over MIG.
[ kill-ratio also fixed: 1.3 to 1 ]
