Mikoyan-Gurevich's MiG-17 was one of the most famous Soviet fighters after World War II. It was the second jet fighter produced by the Soviet Union after the MiG-15 and preceded other famous Soviet fighters such as the MiG-19 and MiG-21. The overall design was based on the MiG-15 and included new wings, a 20% longer fuselage and a more powerful VK-1 engine with an afterburner in the F variant. The MiG-17 entered service in 1951 with the initial MiG-17A model (NATO designation: Fresco A); and two years later, in 1953, the MiG-17B (Fresco B) followed. Then came the most common and well-known version of the MiG-17F (Fresco C). The MiG-17F is one of the most famous aircraft of the Cold War. It was one of the most widely used aircraft of the period and was also produced by a number of countries. It was licensed in Poland under the designation: Lim-5, and in China under the designation: Shenyang J-5.
