This publication focuses on the MiG-15 – the iconic first-generation Soviet jet fighter that entered service at the end of the 1940s. It was widely used by the USSR, as well as the air forces of Poland, Czechoslovakia, China, and many other Warsaw Pact countries. The MiG-15 played a key role in the Korean conflict (1950–1953), being one of the breakthrough aircraft of the jet age. It served throughout the "Cold War" era and was produced en masse not only in the USSR but also under license in Poland (Lim-1, Lim-2), Czechoslovakia, and China (J-2 and its variants).

MMP Books 78159 provides an exceptionally detailed study of the airframe, operational history, and all production differences between Soviet and licensed versions. The publication stands out for its complete treatment of painting schemes and markings, including over 70 color profiles, which are invaluable for building a realistic aircraft model in any scale.
