"biggest mistake?
Supplying those jet engines to Russia in 1948
Without those the Russian jet fighters would have been delayed by at least ten years. No Korean War. No Vietnam war. No Badgers. No Bears. No Berlin Wall. No Cold War
Those bloody engines enabled the Russians to play catch-up so quickly that they became the threat they did."
I never knew that. Just did some research, what a stupid thing to do and then the allies were surprised at the performance of the MIG in Korea !!!
