Reports on Captured a/c in Korea
Some time ago, I have found a report named "Evaluation and Analysis of the IL-10 Soviet Airplane" prepared by Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory Inc. which worked on 2 a/c captured in Korea.
A same kind of report must have been prepared for the captured Mig-15 and I would like to get a copy. Does anyone have any clue where I can find it? |

Re: Reports on Captured a/c in Korea
Dear Joe,
I have found the report in a garage sale. It is over 125 pages with photos and drawings. It is clear that Cornell disassembled the Il-10 down to its rivets and photographed it. There are lots of drawings given down to its electrical system. Even the stencils are included one by one. As for the Yakolevs, I do not know if they have any reports. It must have been done. |

Re: Reports on Captured a/c in Korea
This is the best I've found about the MiG-15. It has a few good photos and more about the defection. Test data is slim however:
http://www.historicwings.com/feature...tfindings.html If anybody has more info concerning the Yak-9P I'd be very interested. What I've read until now is conflicting: some sources say the -9P was tested in Korea, some say it was shipped to the CONUS. Some say it force-landed, and some say it was captured on the ground. |

I've never seen the flight test reports, which I'd be most interested in. Joe |

Re: Reports on Captured a/c in Korea
In the early 50s (1952?), I attended a CAP encampment at Wright-Patterson. In one of the hangars, I remember climbing all over a complete, but apparently not flightworthy, IL-10. Also, the Lippisch DM-1 was in the same hangar, along with several other types that I can no longer remember. Later the same day, we saw a fire fighting demonstration and the stack of derelicts being used for practice include an XP-54, the nose off one of the early B-36 prototypes, etc. The Yak-9 was not seen then, but a couple years later it was the first aircraft in the door of the museum, looking quite fresh (light blue) and airworthy, IIRC. It was later replaced by a MiG-15. Perhaps the museum research library might have copies of test reports on these aircraft, they used to have them for most of the WWII foreign types tested.
