Now I’m envisioning a tale where the Russians take Unalaska Island in ‘50 or ‘51 for the same reason that the U.S. invaded Saipan in WW2. It would become a base that would bring the Seattle area into range of un-refueled Tu-4 Bisons.
Those “B-29skis” would have been intercepted by F-82 Twin Mustangs flying out of McChord AFB, which would make a wild flight sim scenario…
