Blind Man's Bluff, authors Sherry Sontag and Christopher Drew. No espionage
missions have been kept more secret than those involving American submarines.
Only presidents and a select few have known the truth about the submarines
that have for decades silently roamed the depths in a dangerous battle for
information and advantage. Even the families of the men on board had no idea
what their husbands, sons and brothers were doing, and anyone who went
looking for the truth behind these mysterious missions found only a veil of
silence. (excerpted from inside front cover).

Institute Press in 1996, ISBN 1557508372. Here for the first time is the full
story of the Cold War's secret but very real war in which hundreds of
combatants lost their lives. Long before Gary Powers' U-2 spyplane ws shot

stratosphere. This was the aerial espionage war between the West and the
Soviet Union. (excerpted from inside front cover).

Code to Victory, author Arnold C. Franco. An interesting, 238-page softcover accounting
of the beginning of U.S. communications intelligence support to air force
operations. The author details how the 3rd Radio Squadron Mobile was
activated in England during WW II and how after D-Day, it moved to and
supported Army Air Corps operations in France and Germany during the final
months of WW II. The nucleus of this operation later evolved into the 2nd RSM
that the Air Force Security Service inherited from the Army Security Agency
in 1948. (brief review by Larry Tart).

Now, for the first time ever, Ed Pope tells the real story of what led to his becoming the first American since Gary Powers to be convicted of espionage in Russia. Combining a gripping account of his arrest, trial and 253-day imprisonment with a deeply disturbing look at today's Russia, Pope's harrowing story reads like a Le Carré novel come to life. And with a large dollop of espionage-insider information and secret submarine warfare technology, Ed Pope's harrowing memoir will remind readers of the best of Tom Clancy.

It is October, 1962, a crucial period in history when the Cuban missile crisis is coming to a head. In remote corners of the earth, Air Force reconnaissance missions are flown around the clock monitoring Russian military radio intelligence, all in an effort to ascertain what military material is being sent to Cuba, in what quantities, and from what point of origin.
A flight crew of five and ten Russian linguists take off from Frankfurt, Germany, in a C-130 Hercules reconnaissance plane on what begins as a routine surveillance flight. Unforeseen events and miscalculations turn the mission into a nightmare of fear.
The disaster in the Baltic Sea is kept silent while Washington and the Kremlin play the game of diplomacy and bluff. However, their final decisions are not without consequences.
For those Airmen who don’t know deals are being made, escape and evasion have become a very deadly game.
