You can read an interesting analysis of the 'defectors' MiG-15 in Chuck Yeager's autobiography: Yeager. It's an interesting read and he goes into quite some detail about the flight testing of the MiG in comparison to the F-86. Certainly recommend that book.

I was at an airshow once in the UK, I'm pretty sure it was the USAF's 50th anniversary show at RAF Fairford, where a MiG 15 put on a display, it looked seriously handy in comparison to the F-86, which also displayed there, and at one point that MiG came screaming over the airfield at such a rate of knots that all the other aircraft in the air got the hell out of its way!
