Aviation week has a short piece on the 4477th Test & Evaluation Squadron
A very interesting read on what it was like to fly and test "procured" Russian aircraft, complete with stuff like the "BOMB EXPLODE" switch, the superior abilities of inferiority made Russian flares, and the near miracles done by the maintenance staff.
They had to keep planes flying with no support documentation, no plans, and no supply chain.
