The Lim-2 was manufactured under license in Poland and was almost an exact copy of
the late production Russian MiG-15bis. The company with the license was WSK "PZL-
Mielec" located in Mielec and in the 1950s quickly became the biggest aircraft producer
in Poland. Production of over 500 Lim-2 aircraft and licensed VK-1 engines, named the
Lis-2 took place from 1953 to 1956.

The 1st Fighter Regiment “Warsawa” was formed on July 7 1943 as the 1st Independent
