A copy of Red Eagles: America’s Secret Migs.
Amazon: “From the late 1960s until the end of the Cold War, the United States Air Force acquired and flew Russian-made MiG jets, culminating in a secret squadron dedicated to exposing American fighter pilots to enemy technology and tactics.Red Eagles tells the story of this squadron from the first tests of MiGs following the Vietnam War when the USAF had been woefully under-prepared in aerial combat.”

I'm actually reading this now, there is a new edition available. It's pretty good, with lots of details of who was in the unit and when, and also multiple first hand accounts of the actual flights. The performance comparisons between our planes and the Migs were very interesting. I would have liked to hear more from the maintainers on how the Migs were kept airworthy and parts sourced, but some of that is still classified or no records exist anymore.
