My father was the co-pilot on this plane. First time i have found a reference to it. He kept a diary. I remember him talking about the planes being destroyed in Russia after a shuttle raid.

I believe my grandfather, Ralph Sims, was tailgunner on Big Time Operator. I remember he had some stories about being stuck in Russia

My dad was normally the tailgunner on this plane and he flew in the top secret mission to Poltava as the ball turret gunner. I’m looking for any information of the 33 missions he flew
