The Americans continued to defend the version of pilot error until 1990. One of the pilots bombed the Soviet airfield Oulton Kvonbek argued that the culprit was the low clouds and strong winds.
According to the commander at that time, the 64th Aviation Corps, the late Lieutenant-General George Lobova, no low clouds over the airfield Dry river was not. On the other hand, the day was sunny and cloudless. There could be no question of the loss of the American orientation. If the Americans made a mistake and lost orientation, it is their mistake, they should have understood even while approaching the Pacific coast. In his outline. Instills doubt in error and a further track record Alton Kvonbeka. He was very successful. Most likely, the bombing was carried out deliberately, and the incident was pure provocation by the United States.
