What aircraft were tested?, what use was made of the information gained eg tactical notes for pilots? Were any captured aircraft used operationally?

From memory they tested: I-16, MiG-3, A-20 Boston, Pe-2, P-39. They also repaired several B-24Ds and there was a plan to create a B-24 squadron. After 23 August many German aircraft were captured and they were impressed into service, but they obviously did not need to be tested.

A veteran from my town who was there during the war said to me that the soldiers spoke a lot that the romanian king wanted to ,, run to americans"
