3月份文件解密
檔案一:1962年3月26日,王太佑成功執行他個人的首次U-2偵察中國任務(GRC-106),一口氣拍攝到34座機場。這份文件詳細記載了這34座機場和其他目標的判讀結果。 檔案二A、B:1964年初,由於飛行員短缺,當時黑貓中隊具備任務資格的就只剩李南屏一人,壓力之大可想而知。因此中情局在3月規劃了一次相對安全的任務,目的是讓李南屏建立信心。李南屏在3月16日執行了這次編號為C024C的任務,本文件包括任務概述和照相涵蓋圖。 檔案三:1968年3月16日,范鴻棣執行編號C058C的U-2偵察任務。後來世界局勢的演變,讓C058C成為黑貓中隊最後一次飛越中國的任務。本文件是此次任務的摘要報告(resume)。 檔案四:1974年3月,快刀計畫進入了最低潮,黑貓中隊已經難得出一次任務,但美國的國家偵察室(NRO)仍行禮如儀的預估下個月執行4次電子照相混合任務和4次LONG SHAFT電子偵察任務。 有關黑貓中隊與快刀計畫的其他內幕,請參閱【快刀計畫揭密】一書。
