Re: KW KLO Operations - ROK Comments



Bill!

    I missed Miskesh's post somehow.  And God Knows I'd be the last to PLUG 
MY BOOK, but . . . both Apollo's Warriors and In the Devil's Shadow include 
the story of a B-26 navigator who parachuted agents (including an unknown 
American) into Manchuria.  I suppose the bit about the American (physical 
description in book) will raise eyebrows.  I didn't intend to include the 
story in the book at the time, because I had no other way to corroborate what 
I was being told.

    But a year later, while researching in the classified archives of an 
agency best known by an acronym (I'm not on their Christmas card A-list at 
the moment, so I'm not eager to further antagonize them), I read in its files 
a near identical description of the Manchurian base camp.  Remarkably, in an 
interview with a USAF Crash Rescue Boat crewman still another year later, and 
with no prompting from me because it was the last thing on my mind, this 
SpecOps vet begins describing the same agent; to a T.  Why? Because he also 
inserted the agent onto the Manchurian coastline. 

    It's quite a story.  To this day I do not know the agent's name, or 
whether he was military or CIA.
