The Cold War had marvelous aircraft from the USSR, USA, UK, France, Sweden and more.  For now, here are some of the Soviet MiG-15 and MiG-21.  Compare these aircraft to the F-84 and F-86.  Clearly the designers shared influences and possibly constraints.  Related pages: photos of the F-14, F-15 and F-16 aircraft, USAF Transports C-130 and C-5, F-22 Raptor and Stealth AIrcraft.
