WSK Lim-2
(MiG- 15bis)
The MiG-15 was the Soviet Union’s first operational swept wing aircraft. Its engine was a copy of the Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet. Deliveries began in the winter of 1949 but early aircraft soon revealed various minor deficiencies that were corrected in the more powerful and robust MiG-15bis.
