training at San Antonio, radio
school at Biloxi and the Russian

Germany.

was king when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, PFC
Elvis Presley arrived in Germany,
the U-2 with pilot Francis Gary Powers was downed, and The Big Bopper, Richie
Valens and Buddy Holly died in an Iowa
plane crash. Against this background,
