Article Abstract:

A story of Cold War intrigue in October 1953 is recounted wherein Balkan country presumed to be Yugoslavia, offered a fighter, Yak-23 Flora, to the US for a brief period. US accepted the offer of studying and flight-testing the aircraft before returning it, and the Yak-23 Flora, inspite of having many features, was ultimately outclassed by the MiG-15, which was introduced at approximately the same time.
