[Milsurplus] RS-6

Re the overflights, the information gathering flights to tickle Soviet radars,
there's actually a book out now on these flights, it's even in paperback.
I found it at the local Fred Meyer store, don't recall the title, it's pretty
prosaically named, something like "Soviet attacks on US Aircraft", 
seems like almost too restrained a title for the paperback trade.

I remember as a youngster reading the papers, about such attacks, and
being properly appalled at the horrid Russian actions. ( "....the target is
burning. I will finish him off on the run, boys..." - from the newspaper
in 1958 or '59. ) Now that Cold War pressures and secrecy are (some
what) over, we can read the other half of the story. No, not anything 
much on radio in that book, except the transcription of the Soviet
fighter radio traffic in the above incident, and the blaming of another
interception over Armenia on "Soviet decoy beacons". (Right.) 
In war, it seems ANY war, "truth" is flexible.
