Flight from Dallas presents factual documentation of the experience of Robert G. Vinson, an Air Force Sergeant with a crypto-security clearance. In 1963 Sergeant Vinson was working for the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD). On November 22 he personally and accidentally became involved in an activity connected with the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The involvement of elements of the CIA are clearly set forth including the forced transfer of Vinson to a secret CIA base in Nevada called Site (Area) 51. Compelled to remain silent due to a secrecy agreement, Vinson went public after the passage of the Assassination Records Review Board (ARRB) Act in 1993. Finding it impossible to obtain assistance from government agencies including the FBI and Department of Justice, this book is his story.
