This illuminating new volume dives deep into the U-2's most critical missions, exploring its role in the Cuban Missile Crisis, nuclear reconnaissance in the Soviet Union, and intelligence missions in China and North Vietnam. Detailing the operations of one of the landmark aircraft of the 20th century, aviation expert Peter E. Davies examines the U-2 from a fresh and engaging perspective, enhanced by more than 50 photos and 21 newly commissioned profile artworks., An illustrated account of the early service of the Lockheed U-2, one of the most important and longest-serving intelligence gathering platforms fielded by the US air force.
