The United States and proceeded to contain the party with them. The history of the incident, according to Inon, is that he was one of the original P-51s to take the trans-Polar flight to Washington State in 1935 or 36. He told the party that he is now retired. He is a hero of the Soviet Union and speaks fairly about the internal situation in the USA. Sen. Russell extended an invitation for Inon to visit his office if he ever comes to the USA. USAID funded it as a possibility for him to believe that this experienced pilot in polar navigation would be retired and the doing nothing but travelling around the Trans-Polar region with a group of friends.

Envy stated that the public World War II he had shown 27 German allies about 20 minutes ago looked very tired. Col. Tammam observed about 20 minutes outside of 100J a 14-14 book that had aole drag on the car, but looked very tired. For about he has seen during a combat tour in Iraq. The car was on a clipper.

PART I. OBSERVATIONS AT COP AND LEUT CEON FILLOWS

The Russell group arrived at COP, the IR border crossing point between USF and Czechoslovakia, early on the morning of 12 July 1955. About 1-2 hours later at 0630, they left COP and were on their way to Prague where they arrived at 0917 (on time) at 2117 hours.
Upon arrival at COP, the train was broken up. One car was marked 100J-COP-DRAWN and was disconnected. Another car was unlinked 100J-COP-TRUCKS. The group's car sleepers, and was disconnected and taken on a train under a red star expanded on a border arch (probably marking border of Czechoslovakia) into a long building on the Czech side. The building was drawn and its length was such as to accommodate the car and two replacement trucks. The trucks for the new Czech train were of the two axel type. The switching of trucks consumed 10-15 minutes for each sleeper car. There was an electric switch box on panel control on one side of the building. The passengers had to dark out during the changing of the trucks. All other train cars were marked 100J-COP.
The subbuilding building had a pit in the middle which the car straddled. Inside the sleeper, there were two large square traps in the car's floor, one as closer end. The first step was for the crew to open these doors and turn a large bar, which evidently released the trucks from the body of the car. The second step was to apply large jacks at four points of the car on the outside, about as the position of the trucks. Two jacks on a side. When the car was sufficiently jacked, the Czech train trucks which on the tracks forward of the car were the standard Czech tracks of the Czech which were laid inside the Russian sleepers. The Czech trucks hanged the first Russian trucks out of place, continuing to the second Russian trucks and hanging then out of place. The jacked car was then ready to have the Czech trucks fastened. The jacks were slowly letting the car down to the new standard Czech trucks down. The crew then turned the bars through the floor overhangs locking the new trucks in place and the passengers were informed that they could board the car.

The train departed at 0620, and at the first little coach from the minutes later, there on the floor of the car a plug
