Interesting unverified primary material, presumably from German engineer returned from Russia.

Amazing find my dear Paul,

specially EF-145 which was a Junkers Ju-88,and EF-155,which was a copy of Gloster
Meteor.

"EF-155" is unmistakably the Alekseyev I-215D. This had bicycle undercarriage and was ordered by OKB-1 to test the EF-150 landing gear configuration. Alekseyev was in charge of OKB-1 by 1949 after closedown of his OKB-21 in 1948 if I am not mistaken.

EF-145 was a captured Ju 388L which was modified with the electrical control system for the EF-150.

Thank you my dear Paul for your explanation,

and that should lead us to ask,where was the rest of this series ?,I heard that,the
EF.144 was a swept back wing fighter Project,but no confirm on this ?.
