Original caption: "The communist-build Mig-21 "Fishbed" jet fighter has stepped up its appearance over North Vietnamese targets recently. The one above was photographed near Hanoi. The aircraft set a sped record in Oct. 1959 of 1,484 mph. Flying in March 2, it has a combat radius of 375 miles. The basic load used by the communist jet is two air-to-air heat seeking missiles. It can also carry a 30mm cannon." A jetfighter flying over fields.
