Matthew, 

If you mean interrogations of POWs, no. They do cover the operations of the 
so-called "Dzhyubenko Group" which was formed to force down an operational 
F-86. They failed, but the effort is interesting to note. 

The authors cite that the Soviets did get two functional F-86s, an A and an 
E, which were sent back to Moscow for repair and study. A-5 49-1319 was shot 
down by COL Pepelyayev, the 1st or 2nd (depending upon source) ace on their 
side. COL Mahurin's F-86E was functional with some repair and was noted by 
the authors as being flown in an awful green paint scheme for test purposes 
near Moscow.
