EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic Soviet MiG-19 jet fighter C015 / 6180, also known as the Farmer. With its sleek design and powerful twin engines, this aircraft was a true pioneer in aviation history. Developed by Artem Mikoyan and Mikhail Gurevich, the MiG-19 entered service in 1955 and became the first operational fighter capable of achieving supersonic speeds in level flight. Equipped with three formidable 30mm cannons, later models of the MiG-19 were upgraded to carry four a-1 Alkali missiles. Its impressive capabilities made it highly sought after on the international market, leading to over 2,100 units being built and an additional 3,400 produced under license in China as the Shenyang J-6. Throughout its illustrious career, this remarkable aircraft served in more than 20 countries around the world. Even today, it continues to be utilized by North Korea, Myanmar (formerly Burma), and Zambia for defense purposes. The black-and-white monochrome aesthetic of this photograph adds an air of nostalgia to this historic image. It serves as a testament to both Soviet engineering prowess and Cold War-era military technology. This stunning print from RIA NOVOSTI/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY is a must-have for aviation enthusiasts who appreciate the beauty and significance of these legendary war machines.
