9 lost recon planes over the USSR?

[BAROBA]

Hello, anyone has more information about this?

"Also turned over to Russian officials Monday was a list of nine U.S. reconnaissance aircraft lost and believed shot down by Soviet forces in and near the Russian Far East between 1951 and 1956, Schumacher said. U.S. officials are hoping the Russians will help provide details as to the whereabouts of the crashes and the fates of the 77 crew members. "

(Currently reading a book about the sinking of the k-129)

Cheers,

Rob
