Not Props but the last Jet 'dogfights' were apparently during the Korean War between Sabre and MIG. This period was the undeclared war between USSR and USA as Russian Pilots (not Korean) flew the MIG in combat against the Sabre. The USSR were not prepared to lose MIGs or let one be captured hence the Russian piloting. Unfortunately, they didn't bank on one of their pilots defecting with a MIG.
During the dogfight period the Sabre was outclassed by the MIG IIRC apart from one well documented fight between a single Sabre and a number of MIGs. The Sabre Pilot engaged the MIGs until he ran out of Ammo and still managed to get the Sabre back in one piece.
