...woke up and it went away, and I went upstairs to see what it was and I saw my mother and my brother laying on the floor and there was blood all over. I went up to the captain and he shoved me down." She retreated belowdecks to her bunk. Later the captain came into her cabin with what appeared to be a rifle in his hand but left again without harming the girl. Soon water began to flow into the cabin, and when it reached her bunk, Terry Jo climbed up to the cockpit again. There was no sign...

Judging by what they saw, Western observers concluded that the Russians are roughly on a par with the U.S. in the quality of their fighters, clearly ahead in variety, if not quantity, of supersonic bombers...
