Better give names dates and places of deliberate overflights of
territory, not cruisng past the border (airspace)

Vince, you are lost. You can fiddle with whether a document is legit
or not and then turn around and say because a series of photographs
are examined at a CIA facility, actually manned by both CIA and
Pentagon people, that makes it a CIA job. Curtis Lemay made sure the
Strategic Air Command and secondarily the U.S. Air Force knew the
pilot that got those photos was a SAC pilot.
it was a CIA flight part of a long standing CIA operation
Still need to explain all
those F8Us that got shot at in a non-battlefield.
This is a separate issue
Francis Gary Powers was not in a battlefield
Around noon that day (October 27) a Lockheed U-2 piloted by Rudolph
Anderson was shot down by an SA-2 Guideline SAM emplacement,
increasing the stress in negotiations between the USSR and the U.S. It
was later learned that the decision to fire was made locally by a
Soviet commander on his own authority, although exactly who this was
is a matter of some debate.
Why should a "battlefield" shoot increase stress?
the reason is that its not a battlefield
Later that day, at about 3:41 p.m.,
several F8U Crusader aircraft on low-level recce missions were fired
upon, and one was hit by a 37 mm shell but managed to return to base.
Still not a "battlefield"
