An intact B29 was landed in Russian held territory prior to them declaring war on Japan. The crew was interred and the plane meticulously copied in what remains the most elaborate case of reverse engineering in history.
It took several years and shortly after the war the US Military was shocked to see numerous "B29s" in Soviet markings fly over red square in their May Day parade.
