The Flight of KAL 007: evidence of conspiracy
R. B. Cutler
Cutler is the editor/producer of the Grassy Knoll Gazette, one of the JFK assassination journals. Over the years he has produced a great many books/pamphlets on the case. This is a 40 page pamphlet full of Cutler’s beautiful drawings and maps which argues that 007 was not shot down by a Soviet interceptor, but was destroyed by an onboard explosion. “The Soviet Union was trapped into becoming a patsy.”
Cutler sees the event as analogous to the Gary Powers U2 incident which blew the Eisenhower/Khrushchev summit in 1960.
The same argument is offered by L. Fletcher Prouty in an article in the US porno mag Gallery (May 1985) which Cutler kindly sent me and which he acknowledges as a source in his pamphlet.
My difficulty is that I have not studied the case closely enough to decide whether or not Cutler and Prouty are onto something significant. Their material is convincing as far as it goes, and Prouty (the author of The Secret Team) is somebody I take very seriously indeed. So, the best I can do is this: if there is a reader who has studied this event and would care to read and review these two pieces, get in touch. Meanwhile Cutler’s pamphlet is available from him at Cutler Designs, Box 1465, Manchester MA 01944 USA, priced $10.
