I read Chuck Yeager's first book. He talks about test flying a captured Mig during the Korean War, that's what I remember, it could have been later. I figured the USA Air Force has engineering data somewhere concerning backward engineering of the test flights. Was wondering how long they would keep the info to themselves.
