If one considers the relative merits of the F-86 Sabre and Mig15 in career, then one is presented with a striking example of the differences in philosophy. The F-86 was the "cadillac of the skies", like its predecessor the P-51. The Mig 15 was more akin to a souped up Mini Cooper - but so much more nifty!
The ironic thing is that both were powered by the same engine!
