Quote from the 30 October 1966 The Nashville

“He and his wing man were on a mission over the Rhine Valley
‘We had made some pictures, and I was looking ahead to
our next photo target,’ Thompson recalls, ‘when my wing man broke radio silence

‘It flashed through my mind that they were something
the Germans had put up there.”
