They were on reconnaissance mission, my job in Airforce was to develope the film from the flights then report everything found of value on the film, it was called scoring the film. I did this for film from AC-47 "Puff The Magic Dragon", F4s, B-52s, U-2s, SR-71s, and some may not be aware, we also recovered film dropped by satellites that we would then develope.
