I was not aware that the MiG15 was based on English designs.
I thought it was based on Prof. Willy Messerscmitt's design.

Leo, I think what some were referring to was that the MiG 15's engine was based almost completely on the Rolls Royce Nene Jet engine design that had been "procured" by the Russians and copied (without benefit of license I believe) to become the main powerplant of the MiG15.
THIS is what I think people were referring to when they credit the British with the MiG-15 design.
