You find yourself withstand under “ house arrest ” in a removed hobo camp region of Indonesia , sometime in the late 1950s . You may have your suit , fedora and at least one halfway decent sleeper , but the fortune of getting back to the US of A seem slim . The CIA remember you ’re not so dispensable , so spytechs — with the help of the always loyal Goodyear Company — build an inflatable airplane that they can drop into a hobo camp clarification . Here ’s what it looks like when fully inflated and quick for takeoff :
One version was plainly inflated by adding water to especial pellets which give rise gas . Another interpretation says the engine itself , sans prop , pumped the plane up . Either way , it apace became airworthy and , as a raft as well , could habituate a body of water as a takeoff strip .
One of the federal agent involved told theSpycraftauthors that it was a viable design : “ We tested it and it knead out pretty skillful . ” He admits , though , that the project was killed , probably because of “ politics . ” When a like crisis emerged later on , the federal agent thought to pull it out of storage and put it to work , but by then , it had rotted and crack in a secret CIA warehouse . ( They credibly should n’t have put it the right way next to the Arc of the Covenant . ) [ More CIA Spytech from the Spycraft Book ]
