RUSSIAN FLYERS VISIT ALLIED MEDITERRANEAN AIR BASES.

RUSSIAN FLYERS VISIT ALLIED MEDITERRANEAN AIR BASES. Three Russian flyers pause during a tour of Allied Mediterranean air bases to talk to U.S. Brigadier General Gordon Saville (center), commander of the 12th Tactical Allied Command, Mediterranean Allied Air Forces. The Russians were carried on their tour by a B-25 Mitchell bomber, piloted by a U.S. flyer with a Russian co-pilot. Close cooperation between the Allied airmen has been particularly evident since the establishment of shuttle-bombing of German-controlled territorities.
