During the Korean War, America was forced to deploy its most advanced aircraft at the time to combat the Soviet MiG-15 jet, mainly in an area known as 'MiG Alley' during the first ever jet vs jet battles.

Between 1950 and 1953, American pilots found themselves struggling against North Korea's deadly MiG-15 fighter which was more heavily armed than the US aircraft.
