Would you believe that the horror-filled Joseph Stalin was scared of air travel? Today on Book TV it was noted that Stalin’s only time ever in the air was when he flew to Tehran for the Big Three conference with FDR and Churchill.
So here is my thought.
His internal enemies should have just created a seat that was camouflaged so not to reveal that it was easily jettisoned. If a plane is flying at 20,000 feet and an object weighting 198 pounds falls…how long before a new leader is taking power in Moscow?
Ok—too much coffee here!
