About this title

Synopsis

The first-time description of one of the most exotic and successful spy missions of the Cold War: the parachuting of two intelligence officers including one of the authors onto a hastily abandoned Soviet drift station on a deteriorating Arctic ice pack to collect data, and their retrieval using an experimental aerial recovery technique. The same CIA-owned B-17 with Fulton Skyhook gear that retrieved the COLDFEET team from the ice of NP8 also appeared in the 1965 James Bond movie Thunderball .
