Between 1945 and 1990 the Western Allies mounted some of the most
audacious and successful intelligence collection operations of the
Cold War. Conducted in great secrecy, aircrews flew specially
modified transport and training aircraft along the Berlin Air
Corridors and Control Zone to gather intelligence on Soviet and
East German military targets in the German Democratic Republic and
around Berlin. The Air Corridors comprised three regulated airways
for civil and military air traffic that connected West Berlin to
West Germany. Operating under the guise of innocent transport and
training flights, the pilots used their right of access to gather
huge amounts of imagery for forty-five years. They also provided
the western intelligence community with unique knowledge of the
organisation and equipment used by Warsaw Pact forces. For the
first time, using recently declassified materials and extensive
interviews with those involved, Looking Down the Corridors provides
a detailed account and analysis of these operations and their
unique contribution to the Cold War.
