004021-A Need to Know-The Role of Air Force Reconnaissance in War Planning, 1945-1953 234 Pages 2004 THIS DOCUMENT IS FURNISHED ON CDROM FORMAT On 1 April 2001, a US Navy EP-3 Aries II surveillance aircraft collided with a People's Liberation Army Air Force J-8 fighter plane that resulted in the loss of the Chinese pilot and an emergency landing on Hainan Island by the Navy plane. The Chinese government's 11-day internment of the Navy flight crew shocked and amazed the American public. The ensuing diplomatic crisis and war of words reminded many of similar incidents from the supposedly defunct Cold War. Depending on the age of the individual, the EP-3 crisis evoked memories of the 1983 Soviet shootdown of Korean Air Lines (KAL) flight 007 or Francis Gary Powers's ill-fated U-2 mission of 1 May 1960. Avid readers might remember a 1993 U.S. News & World Report issue devoted to "America's Top-Secret Spy War" that chronicled many of the 35 US Air Force and US Navy reconnaissance aircraft shot down from 1946 to 1961 with the loss of over 100 American airmen. The April 2001 collision focused world attention upon a still little known but highly significant aspect of the Cold War-strategic aerial reconnaissance. THIS DOCUMENT IS FURNISHED ON CDROM FORMAT
