We knew that the Russians had three flying B-29s from the Pacific theater that were interned after WWII. Repeated requests by the US for the return of the planes were denied by the Soviets. Stalin had them reverse-engineered into the TU-4 and we knew nothing about it.
Fast forward to Aviation Day in August of 1947 when the Western press watched as three B-29 do a flyover. No big deal, everyone knew the Soviets still had them. And then immediately following those three was what seemed to be a fourth B-29 but it was really the first TU-4.
The shiite hit the fan at the new DoD.
