Terror in the Sky: Russia's MiG-17 Fighter Gave Americans Hell in Vietnam
So successful were MiG-17s — in the hands of both skilled Vietnamese pilots as well as allegedly some Russian pilots — that the United States acquired several MiG-17s from Israel in order to evaluate their capabilities and determine what tactics American pilots should employ in order to shoot down the North Vietnamese pilots.
