TAIC Aircraft Evaluations?

[JOVE23]

Hello everyone,

Does anyone know where the detailed aircraft evaluations done by TAIC are held, or if they are still extant to begin with?

Thanks!

TAIC?

I think he is referring to the Allied Tactical Air Intelligence Unit (A)TAIU.

I guess they were re-named TAIU-SWPA at some point.

Some are here, WWII Aircraft Performance

and here, Japanese Fighter Performance

I'm particularly looking for the flight tests on the B5N2 captured on Saipan and tested at NAS Anacostia

TAIC: Technical Air Intelligence Center, based at NAS Anacosta and staffed with Navy personnel from the TAIU.
They coordinated with the field TAIUs.

There's a fairly recent book on the subject but I cannot find it online. Here's a promising site, tho:

ATAIU - Secret Operations at Eagle Farm

There was a self-published book advertised in Wings/Airpower in the late '80's from a gentleman that was a member of the field teams. Maybe one our members has a copy?
