The MiG-17 was license-suilt in both China and Poland. In the early 1950s, the PLAAF obtained a number of Soviet-built MiG-17 Fresco-A day fighters. The Chinese obtained plans for the Mig-17F Fresco-C day figher in 1955, along with two completed pattern aircraf, 15 knockdown kits, and parts for ten aircraft. The first Chinese-built MiG-17f, produced by the Shenyang factory, performed its initial flight on 19 July 1956 with test pilot Wu Keming at the controls. The MiG-17 was known as the "J-5" in Chinese service, or "F-5" when it was exported.
