Also, ask Istvan Toperczer if he has any source on the MiG in the Korean War 
from his Russian source; He wrote:
Air war over North Vietnam: the Vietnamese People's Air Force: 1949-1975. 
(Squadron/Signal Publications, 1998).
MIG 17 and MIG 19 units of the Vietnam War. (Osprey Aviation, 2001).
MiG-21 units of the Vietnam War (Osprey Aviation, 2001).

And any books about the MiG-19; MiG-21; MiG-23; MiG-25; MiG-28; and MiG-29 
should mentioned something about the MiG-15 and MiG-17 in the Korean War.
