I've noticed that by doing a Google search, you can come up with all
kinds of data about U.S. and western countries flying recon flights over Soviet and other Communist territory during the Cold War along with a list of shootdowns. I'm sure there were also Soviet recon flights over and near Western territory during the Cold War, but no one seems to mention it. Does anyone have a list of incidents? Two incidents I have found are overflights of the Italian and Turkish Jupiter missile sites. A Google search found this May 2001 message: "In 1962, a Bulgarian MiG-17 recon airplane crashed into an olive grove near one of the Italian Launch Sites, after overflying the site." George Smith, who installed Jupiter missiles in Turkey in 1961 also mentioned a MiG crash near the Turkish Jupiter sites. He said film was recovered from the wreckage. Does anyone have any more info about the above incidents or other overflight incidents? - Rusty Barton -- |
