Talk:MiG Alley

message: I added two categories to the article since it had none.  Korean War and Korean War Aircraft.  I didn't think that it would fit under Battles of the Korean War, which is why I put it under the main Korean War category. 198.140.4.205 01:43, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

message: "The MiGs, by contrast, tended to mimic the tactics used by the Soviets in World War II of attacking in large groups, hoping to make up in numbers what they lacked in training, experience and technology."
I will not comment on training and experience. Technically however, the Soviet MiG-15 was superior to anything the US and UN could field. Only the F-86 comes close, esp. with the better gunsight, but still is overall slightly inferior with lower thrust to weight, lower rate of climb, lower accelleration and lower service ceiling. I can live with both being considered technically on par (although like I mentioned I still consider the MiG superior), but the MiG is definetly NOT inferior.84.152.92.78 15:18, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In terms of this general understanding i think this section needs a serious rework - it would be very useful to document all points of view here and then let the reader decide.
The Discovery series "21st century war machines" episode 4 about fighters claims that the communist sides had superior conditions because their fighters were closer to base (more combat zone fuel) and radar coverage from ground. Which written sources might echo that claim ? TGCP (talk) 18:21, 24 November 2012 (UTC)

message: This article has been ruined by the drivel posted in the Air Combat section not only is it littered with spelling and grammatical errors but the inaccuracies are appalling. In my opinion it should be removed completly until we can get a more balanced view.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.173.109.55 (talk) 08:00, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Air Combat 

message: I think "MiG Alley" should redirect to a page named "Korean War in the Air" or something similar, native English speakers could perhaps suggest something suitable.
"MiG Alley" should then be a subsection of that page instead of an article of its own.
I also completely agree that this article is written in very poor English and seems to have a strong bias. AadaamS (talk) 08:40, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

message: "by October, the Soviet Union had agreed to provide air regiments of state-of-the-art, Soviet-designed and built MIG-15 fighters, along with the trained crews to fly them." This sentence is overdone and misleading ... it is enough to say that the MiG-15 was a high-performance fighter built in the Soviet Union. All of the MiG-15 was not Soviet-designed, as the Klimov turbojet engine powering it was an unlicensed copy of the Rolls-Royce Nene. AadaamS (talk) 15:22, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  MiGs Enter the Scene 

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :MiG Alley's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Solo234":
From No. 91 Wing RAAF: Stephens, Going Solo, pp. 234–238
From No. 77 Squadron RAAF: Stephens, Going Solo, p. 234
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 10:34, 18 August 2016 (UTC)
