SUBJECT Photo Coverage of Shikotan and Shibotsu
Is lands
MEMORANDUM FOR: Deputy Director, Plans
THROUGH . Acting Chief, DPD-DD/
1, Attached hereto is a request of the Air Force for photo
coverage of the subject islands, southernmost of the Kurile chain
long with operational comments from Colonel Burke
2. It is proposed that this be accomplished on a training
mission and it appears that coverage would be operationally feasible.
3. The.AR C concurs in this request but would not wish
to see coverage attempted within such proximity of the islands if, in
view of the project, it might in any way create complications which
would jeopardize the attack on our principal target area.
4. Recommendation:
That you approve the proposed coverage.
