À propos de ce contenu audio
It was one of Taiwan’s most secretive Cold War outposts: Shulinkou Air Station (樹林口空軍情報站), a joint-service U.S. intelligence base perched on a misty plateau west of Taipei.
Built in 1955 on a former Japanese airfield, Shulinkou became a hub for monitoring radio traffic, tracking radar signatures, and feeding raw intelligence directly to the NSA at Fort Meade.
In Part 1 of this three-part series, we focus on the early 1960s and the everyday world of the young servicemen stationed there.
Shulinkou was a place where secrecy was routine, boredom was dangerous, and history was unfolding just across the Strait.
This is Part 1. Parts 2 and 3 will take us deeper -- into the looming Vietnam War.
For this episode, we relied heavily on the excellent Shulinkou Air Station Taiwan website, which is run by men who served there between 1955 and 1977.
