Above is the U.S. F-86 Sabre Jet:

It was more fun than anything else I’ve ever done. The F-86 was a brilliant design. Even today, it’s a very modern aircraft in terms of its engine power and so forth. It was just a delight; it didn’t have any bad habits. Unlike the MiG, creature comforts were taken into consideration. The Sabre had an air conditioning system that would produce ice if you wanted it to. It would drive you out of the cockpit with heat if you wanted. You could adjust it like a modern car. The MiG didn’t have any of that. The MiG pilot was sitting in the cockpit without any air-conditioning. Our G-suits helped us control our blood flow at high maneuvering rates, and the Russians didn’t have that either. There are more advantages — the F-86 was a Cadillac; the MiG-15 was a Model-T Ford.

And the Soviet MiG-15 Fagot:

A.k.a. the Mikoyan-Guryevich:

The MiG-15 began life just after WWII when the Soviet Air Force charged the major Soviet aircraft design bureaus with developing a high-altitude day interceptor able to operate from rough strips, reach Mach 0.9, have good maneuverability at high altitude, carry heavy armaments and have a flight endurance of over 1 hour. This was quite the demand considering that they didn’t have a decent jet engine. They purchased an excellent power plant, the Rolls-Royce Nene jet engine, from the British who were desperate for hard cash. The configuration, with the high-set swept wing, high tailplane and nose intake was inspired by the German Focke Wulf Ta-183 design. The Americans code-named it “Fagot”.
