Aerial espionage: Secret intelligence flights by East and West

by Dick Van Der Aart

AERIAL ESPIONAGE is a revealing book about the secret reconnaissance flights carried out by the soviets and the West since the beginning of the cold War. Between the first furtive illegal crossings into forbidden airspace over the Iron Curtain and the recent American spy flights above Nicaragua, a fascinating and unknown world exists. A world of unreachable and super-fast CIA spy planes, provocative intelligence aircraft, clandestine Aeroflot missions, risky interceptions, unavoidable incidents and accidents. This book, which is illustrated with more than 250, often unpublished, photographs, drawings and maps, brings to light the secret world of aerial espionage.
