THIS IS BIG TIME! USSR acquired Rolls Royce jet engine for the Mig 15 in a billiards game bet! The stakes couldn't be any higher then this! This was also a story on the discovery channel.

IF it True, it's a National Enquire Story.

And the Discovery Channel.

But obviously none of this happened without the British

It was a centrifugal flow engine. The Axial flow engine
had more potential for development. So it wasnt top of the line technology. But it WAS better then anything the Ruskies had.
