The Mother Ship arrives at the scene of the B17 crash.
A sailor armed with a submachine gun guards the Mother Ship. Security is tight.
The downed B17 sits quietly in the deep, clear, cold waters of the lake. It's secret bombsight waiting undisturbed - for now.
The support team prepares for the launch of the minisubmarine. They are heavily armed, a successful mission will mean the bombsight is on the surface and vunerable to interception.
The minisubmarine on the surface and prepares to visit the B17. It is slowing filling it's ballast tanks with water to sink to the bottom. The diver will leave the minisubmarine, enter the B17, remove the bombsight, return to the minisubmarine, and back up to the Mother Ship.

Mike,
I really am enjoying this series! Your delightful imagination coupled with your right-on Cold War sensibilities make this series both fun and nearly documentary-like.
My money's on the Amerikanskis in this caper.

Thank you Mannie. As a kid I remember duck and cover drills in my elementary school, waiting for the windows of the school room to be blown out by a Soviet Atomic Bomb. Growing up in Long Beach, CA we were certainly on a target list in some commisars drawer.
