SOURCE:
1. In the fall of 1951, source observed about 15 jet planes parked at an
airfield, north of Kobrin (N 52-12, E 2l-22), east of a highway running
to the north. The planes had swept-back wings and an air outlet at the
rear of the fu.se:lago about 30 cm in diameter. At the north side of the
field, about 200 meters from the highway, there was a large two-story
building which. was apparently entered by flying personnel after their
planes bad landed. Extensive construction work was going on in the north-
west corner of the field. Sections of prefabricated houses were being
unloaded from a freight oar parked on the spur track of the airfield, and
prefabricated hlousea were being erected on the north and south sides of
the field.. acme hangars seemed to be nearing completion in the northeast
corner of the installation, Source learned from a Soviet driver that prior
to the fall of 1951 the installation had been in use only during the su er
months, but that It would be permanently occupied upon completion of the
construction work.
2. Source observed, a fuel dump containing eight fuel contaihers, each about
four meters high; and five meters in diameter, about one kilometer west of
Kobrin, south of the highway to Brest (N 52-05, E 23-42). The fuel dump
covered an area about 500 x 300 meters. Fuel drums with a capacity of 200
liters were also aeon at the dump, which had a railroad connection. Trucks
were seen proceeding from the dump to Kobrin airfield.
