Sept 21, 1953 – North Korean pilot No Kum-Sok defects, bringing his MiG-15 with him to Seoul & collecting a $100,000 reward. I tested the MiG-15, weather was stinkin'- no flying tail so couldn't go MACH 1. Russians had not discovered the secret #KoreanWar, #test #MiG #MiG15 #USSR

The all flying tail plane was developed on a Miles aircraft before the X1 and the technology was shared post war as I understood.
