High above the Iron Curtain, one aircraft changed the course of the Cold War—the legendary U-2 “Dragon Lady.”
In this video, we dive into the incredible history of the U-2 spy plane: its secret development by Kelly Johnson and the Skunk Works, daring reconnaissance missions over the Soviet Union, and the shocking Gary Powers incident that nearly triggered World War III. We’ll also explore the U-2’s role in the Cuban Missile Crisis, flights over China and Vietnam, and how this fragile-looking aircraft has remained a vital intelligence tool for nearly 70 years.
From the edge of space, the U-2 gave America the photos and secrets it needed to survive the nuclear age.
Learn how the U-2 exposed the “bomber gap,” discovered Soviet missiles in Cuba, and even outlived the Cold War itself.
