Through Great Falls moved thousands of U.S. war planes to be ferried on to Russia by way of Alaska. Jordan became suspicious of the black suitcases arriving by special plane and accompanied by armed Russian guards. One day he decided to take action, entered a plane, brushed aside two Russian couriers who "were screaming about diplomatic immunity," and broke open the cases...
