spyflights
I was very disappointed to hear the various comments used in the film about the British 'doing the Americans dirty work' in relation to the Ju Jitsu spyflights and the RAF U-2 flyers. The tone of the commentary seemed to imply that the good old Brits were the only ones who dared to overfly the Soviet Union. The United States was far too scared! if the author had cared to research the facts he would have noticed that the USA had, in fact, been involved in spyflights since WW2; in both the East and West.Three Tornadoes out of Sculthorpe also overflew the Soviet Union in March 1955 under the command of Major John Anderson. This was one of hundreds of overflights conducted by the USAF.
To those that do not know. The Brits were not the only nation brave enough to overfly Soviet territory in the Cold War.
