The display of U.S. military muscle flexing known as Operation Big Pine was launched with a fanfare of technological sound and fury...

Zacharski was a Polish intelligence agent and gave the financially strapped Bell some $110,000 over three years in return for secret information about Hughes Aircraft radar and weapons systems. By the time the FBI got wind of the deal in 1980, Zacharski had already taught Bell to make his own film drops in Austria and Switzerland...
