From what I understand Broughton defended his pilots who fired upon a soviet freighter after being fired on first. Yeager mentioned how Jack destroyed the gun camera film, which would have been his best defense for his pilots.

I think Broughton was charged with destruction of govt. property, but effectively ended his military career.

A shame...

That was my understanding as well, that the Soviet freighter fired on them first. And that there was camera footage from other aircraft in the flight to back it up.
