The purpose of the wing fence was to obstruct the span-wise airflow along the wing, to prevent the entire wing from stalling at once. The Mig 17 wing also lacked taper that the Mig 15 had.

The wing fence was often seen on swept-wing A/C, and was located on the upper wing surface and wrapped around to the leading edge.

The Mig 17 (advanced from the Mig 15 of the Korean War - where the Mig 15 fought the F86 Sabre), had the easily visible difference of an added "ventral fin" under the rear fuselage (the Mig 15 had none), and the Mig 17 also had an added third "wing fence" on each wing.
