New book coming out:

Looks great. Covers the USAF's secret squadron that evaluated Soviet aircraft we acquired and apparently even flew them as adversaries to help train our front-line pilots.

 

Got mine pre-ordered.

It looks like a good book indeed. I've been following the progress over at http://www.fjphotography.com/constantpeg/index.htm which is Steve Davies' site. There's a good load of pics over there and a decent forum with even a few bods who used to work on the program.

 

A few of interesting tidbits about Soviet aircraft in the US...
