During 1950-51 MiG-15 111025 (‘Bort number’ Red 125) was flown by Snr Lt Gogolev of the 2nd Squadron, 176th GvIAP, 324th IAD, who was credited with two victories in April 1951. To distinguish their MiG-15s from the similar looking F-86A Sabre, the Soviets applied what they called ‘elements of fast recognition’ (elementy bystrogo raspoznavaniya) in red to their aircraft noses (324th IAD) or the tops of their tails (303rd IAD). ‘Red 125’ was one of 54 ‘old but clean’ MiG-15s transferred to the KPAF’s 1st Aviation Division at Anshan airfield, PRC, in October 1951.
