GRC-126

陳懷在1962年9月9日被擊落的前一天，楊世駒執行了一次代號為GRC-126的偵照任務。關於這次任務的描述，目前可以公開查到的，不外是來自過去兩岸出版的書籍和文章，所以都有一些共同的錯誤。前幾天在一個部落格上看到轉載一篇紀念陳懷的文章，其中也提到了GRC-126這次任務，還是有一樣的錯。既然美國方面已經把這次任務的檔案解密，我想在此說明清楚，以免日後積非成是。以下引用的部分是該部落格上的文字。 Read the rest of this entry »

The Credit Belongs to Gimo Yang（為楊世駒先生說句公道話）

In his memoir Piercing the Bamboo Curtain from the Sky, Col. LU, Shi-Liang stated that CHEN, Huai, detected that several Tu-16 bombers were stationed at Shuan-Cheng-Tzu Missile Test Range and Wu-Kung Airfield during his historical first U-2 mission on January 13, 1962.  Probably referring to LU’s memoir, Professor Shi (習賢德) also mentioned in his Apocalypse: Reunification vs. Independence (統獨啟示錄) that CHEN found several Soviet-made Tu-16 were stationed at Wu-Kung.  In fact, it is almost certain that CHEN did not photograph Wu-Kung Airfield during his first mission, since neither Immediate Photographic Interpretation Report nor Mission Coverage Index for GRC-100 mentioned Wu-Kung.  It is also worth noting that, although China received two Tu-16 from the Soviet Union in 1959, its production of H-6 did not start until 1969.  So how could CHEN find “several” Tu-16 (or H-6) in 1962?

「飛鳴鏑」釋疑（二）

跟其他中共關於U-2的書籍一樣，「飛鳴鏑」也指稱，楊世駒在1962年9月8日執行的任務，是因為中共在前兩天分別調動轟炸機飛往江西，我國與美國因此安排U-2前往一探究竟（不過「保衛祖國領空的戰鬥」說是9月7、8日兩天，「飛鳴鏑」說是6、7日，他們得先打一架決定誰才是對的）。「飛鳴鏑」甚至還說「空情總署署長衣復恩接到…報告，慌忙跑到總統府去向蔣經國報告」，還說楊世駒當天的「偵察計畫中並沒有廣州」，而是因為飛機故障，才在回程順道偵察廣州的。
