Re: MiG-15 with dragon motif
I'd like to know a little more about the "confirmed via Thompson's gun camera footage". I'm surprised such a spectacular picture has not been published in the past 60 years. I do note that the majority of even published gun camera film was
1. taken from a fair distance
2. not of brilliantly clear quality
3. viewed from the rear.
To get a photo good enough to picture a marking on the side of the fuselage as "very elaborately painted" would seem to require something very different. It is indeed something that a pilot might briefly notice as he passed, but a gun camera?
