The plot description forgets to mention one more, half-fictional character -- Aleksander Pokryshkin. In reality General Pokryshkin was one of two USSR best aces in WWII (59 kills) and (with Ivan Kozhedub, 62 kills) one of two tree-times Heroes of Soviet Union. Bolkhov 05:57, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Gun to the head
It is hinted in "The Bear and the Dragon" that the gun was actually loaded, when Golovko congratulates himself for his self-control at the airport. I don't have the exact quote memorised, but that is the gist of it. I actually asked about that a couple months ago at the reference desk, and our consensus was roughly that Golovko probably lied.

[edit] Fairly Badly Written
The writing for this seems to be all wrong, emphasizing certain things like the extraction (especially the submarine part), and not mentioning Major Gregory and SDI at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.91.216.177 (talk) 01:51, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
