As someone mentioned, Op SURGEON was the UK codename for the UK's exploitation of German scientists in this area. If you look it up on the world's favourite internet encyclopaedia there is a short article about it. One of the sources in the further reading is a paper written by Prof Matt Uttley:

Matthew Uttley "Operation 'Surgeon' and Britain's post-war exploitation of Nazi German aeronautics", Intelligence and National Security, Volume 17, Number 2, June 2002, pp. 1-26(26) Publisher: Routledge, part of the Taylor & Francis Group
Matt was the Dean of King's College at JSCSC Shrivenham, so if you have access to him or Shriv you can get hold of the article without paying for it. I'm sure his bibliography would provide a huge amount of other sources, unlike mine when I was at College which was just an exercise in listing vaguely related books that served to eat up the necessary word count!
