The article doesn't mention that many of the MiGs were being flown, and controlled, by Russian Air Force personnel, sent by "Uncle Joe" when Mao started raising atheist hell about the lack of Soviet support. There was a really interesting documentary about it on either the History Channel or one of the Discovery channels

I've also read that some captured US pilots were turned over to the Soviets.
