Hidden In the Air and Sea

A Russian Submarine

An American Black Bird Spy Plane

The more research I do the more I uncover of how secretive the cold war was and the lengths each side went into to stay hidden while traveling behind enemy lines.
By sea there were crews of over a hundred hiding at the bottom of the ocean trying to gather intel from the enemy. I read about the extents that the crew when through to stay undetected. They would only communicate in signals. and literally tip toe around there sub. They also would stay totally submerged underwater weeks at a time, The fear they must have felt, knowing what would have happened if they got caught would be unbelievable.

The second image is a black bird spy plane, this amazing creation was used for recon at sub space. Pilots could see the curvature of the earth because they where that high. The design principles behind this machine had one word in mind "Hidden", even the paint was designed to help the plane stay hidden, the pigments were made up of tiny metal ball bearings that helped them not get picked up by enemy radar.

Im not sure how these could link to my project but some how I feel they need place in it.
