幸運餅
在美國吃過中國餐館的人應該都知道fortune cookie這個不中不西的東西，不過今天的主題並不是食物，而是王濤在《空軍 黑貓 華航：我的飛行生涯》這本書提到的「幸運餅乾」計畫（Project FORTUNE COOKIE）。 書中提到黃七賢和范鴻棣為了這項計畫特別再回到美國受訓，但是沒有提到什麼時候。以下這份文件不但有確切的時間，甚至連黃七賢（Denny）和范鴻棣（Andy）的英文名字都忘了塗消。 AQM-37就是計畫中U-2R要掛載的無人飛機，為了引誘共匪的雷達，還特別加裝了放大雷達回波的鼻錐。執行任務的U-2R機鼻內則會攜帶System 17B，用來接收地對空飛彈陣地雷達的訊號。文件中的PMR則是Pacific Missile Range的縮寫。
Ambushed by SAMs (王濤被飛彈偷襲)
On December 1, 1969, three Surface-to-Air Missiles (SAMs) were fired, mostly likely from this island, in an attempt to shoot down the U-2R piloted by Tom Wang. Wang took evasive actions immediately…

Last Blackcat Candidates

經國號戰機首次升空廿週年回顧
幾天前收到華錫鈞將軍的email，他說： 年初看到公視製作的『IDF 啟示錄』，瞭解國內媒體對 IDF 尚有不少誤解。因此和漢翔同仁合作製作了『經國號戰機首次升空廿週年回顧』的影片。現在已登載在我的網站上 www.hmhfp.info/dcm/IDF_Aniv.html ，請收看並指教。 這部影片採用了許多第一手、甚至是從未曝光過的資訊，並有重要相關人士的訪問畫面（包括華將軍本人），是我看過所有與IDF有關的作品中最具權威的一個。更特別的是，它是由華將軍親自剪接、編輯、製作，非常具有專業水準。絕對必看！
古蹟
All photos by LIFE magazine 如果台北市政府想要把景福門修復成1966年的面貌，我建議同時也把北門修成這些LIFE雜誌在1950年代初期拍攝下來的樣子。我不反對把照片裡的國民黨黨徽也漆上去，只要這些標語也一併漆上： 維護國家獨立 保障生活自由 反對赤色恐怖
