Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15bis, Egyptian users

Egypt adquired two MiG-15, MiG-15bis and MiG-17 Squadrons from Czechoslovakia in 1955 with the consent and approval of the USSR. They arrived just in time to take part in the 1956 Suez Channel crisis. When the crisis began, the Egyptian Air Force had four squadrons equipped with MiG-15 and MiG-15bis but their pilots were poorly trained to flight them.
In the morning of 30th October, they saw their first aerial action in the middle-east when they intercepted a formation of four English Electric Canberras belonging to the RAF which were on a reconnaissance mission over the Suez Canal Zone. They managed to damage one of the Canberras. Later that same day, Egyptian MiG-15bis attacked Israeli troops at Mitla pass and El Tamed, located both of them in the Sinai peninsula and destroying half a dozen vehicles. Therefore, the Israeli Air Force doubled their combat patrols over the canal zone and two MiGs were taken down by Israeli Dassault Mysteres, although the MiGs managed to attack land troops.
The next day, on 31st October, the Egyptian Air Force managed to shot down two Israeli Dassault Ouragan fighters, forcing one of them to crash-land in the desert. That same day, Franco-British forces began to systematically bomb Egyptian air bases destroying at least eight MiG-15s on the ground, many other types of aircraft and forcing the remaining forces to disperse. The remaining aircraft managed to perform ground attack missions, but the Egyptians had already lost the air superiority.
Back to the 30th October, Egyptian MiGs managed to shot down two Israeli aircraft, a Piper Cub, a Gloster Meteor F.8 and later, on 1st November, they managed to shot down a Dassault Ouragan which was scored by the Egyptian pilot Faruq El-Gazzavi. Another MiG-15 was damaged and the pilot ditched in lake Bardawil, where the aircraft was salavaged by Israeli forces.
After the crisis, the remaining MiG-15bis were repainted with the colours of the United Arab Republic and were the backbone of their fighter force until they were soon replaced by the MiG-17.
