Synopsis
The Lockheed U-2 is one of the most recognisable aircraft of the Cold War. Nicknamed the 'Dragon Lady' after the codename given to it by the CIA, the aircraft, which was essentially a powered glider, was designed and operated in great secrecy, providing US authorities with photographic and electronic intelligence from areas of interest across the globe. This illuminating new volume dives deep into the U-2's most critical missions, exploring its role in the Cuban Missile Crisis, the monitoring of the Soviet Union's nuclear weapons programme and its dangerous oversights of China, North Vietnam and many other regions of unrest. Using previously unpublished research, aviation historian Peter E Davies examines the operational career of one of the landmark aircraft of the 20th century from a fresh and engaging perspective, enhanced by more than 50 photos and 22 newly commissioned profiles. Osprey Combat Aircraft Series, Comprehensive histories of fighting aircraft and their crews, highlighting their vital role in the development of warfare in the 20th and 21st centuries, A unique source of information, researched by recognised experts and brought to life by first-hand accounts from the combat veterans themselves, Concise, authoritative text is supported by up to 30 original colour artworks, and the best archival photography from around the world., 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.
