@wellerstein @Max_Fisher One of the B-29s crashed in the Arctic. Nearly turned into a world war. I've only seen it in one oral history.

@SanhoTree Do you have a citation? I haven't heard about it, but am curious. -
@wellerstein Afraid you'd ask that! I found it about 20 years ago. It was an oral history w/Gen. Carter Clarke (in charge of ULTRA intel).
