The Shenyang J-5 was a licensed version of the Soviet MiG-17. In the 1950s the PLAAF received several MiG-17As and designated them J-4 but in order for the PLAAF to use the latest production methods they needed newer aircraft so they obtained plans, kits and parts for the MiG-17F that would eventually become the J-5. The J-5 performed its maiden flight on July 19, 1956. J-5 Red 2671 belonged to the 24th Division, PLAAF and was flown by Li Chunguang who shot down a RoC Hu-16A in 1966.
