Red Jet Knowledge Frets U S Airmen
Washington June 4 The Air Force has studied a secret analysis of a Russian jet engine like those powering MiG 15 fighters over Korea. It finds US engines, not ready for months, will be only a shade better than Russia’s current engines, explaining Gen Hoyt S Vandenberg remarks that the MiG 15 engine is superior to any jet now in use. Evidence suggests Russia uses advanced engine knowledge from German sources, with MiG 215 engines running at about 75 percent power along the Yalu frontier while the F 86 Sabre cannot match them in level flight.
