Give me some time -- will prepare a list for you.
When it comes to the Soviets I would recommend wartime issues of the German "Luftwissen" magazines. The British "Aeroplane" magazine, Vol. LXV No. 1682, August 20th 1943, published (page 202) small but very interesting article based on the "Luftwissen" mentioned, where the Germans analysed the airframes of captured Yak-1, LaGG-3 and MiG-3. The British titled their article "Russian Aircraft Timbers".
