I'm sure recovery of a pilot at sea was a lot more difficult back then. Let's be honest, in the 50s the military didn't have as much invested in its aircraft and personnel, today with the price of a fighter jet and the training of a pilot, recovery of both is a high priority.
Great story thanks for sharing OP. Now I need to rinse off the Commie stench from CNN.
