Re: Help with deeper meanings
Phillip,
Nice and interesting time-dated pieces  The third one, as you rightly guessed, is a cold-war period poster which refers to the flights that the US was frequently undertaking outside of the official air corridors over East Germany in order to map Soviet facilities in that country. The usual "excuse" was "navigational error"  Thanks to these "errors", by the early 1960, Western allies had surveyed about 85 to 90% of the East German territory.On a few occasions, US planes were shot or forced down by Soviet fighters or anti-aircraft fire. All of this culminated when Gary Powers' U2 was shot down over Soviet territory. Marc |
