Mikoyan MiG-29 Fulcrum
MiG-29
Two vertical stabilizers, widely spaced engines and air intakes that close on the ground: the MiG-29 was the only NVA combat jet to keep flying with the Luftwaffe. Here is how to recognize it, how its German years went and where it still flies.

Stocky fuselage, 35 degrees of sweep, horizontal stabilizer high on the fin: the MiG-15 was the Soviet Union’s first major jet fighter, shocked the US Air Force over Korea in 1950 and flew with the East German NVA. Here is how to recognize it – in museums and as a flying warbird.
Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-21
MiG-21
Round nose intake with a shock cone, delta wing plus horizontal stabilizer, slim fuselage: the MiG-21 is the most-produced supersonic jet in history. Here you learn how to recognize it, what it meant for the NVA and where you can still see it today.
