(You have to conduct a search for it; there is not a unique URL.) The 4 July, 1956 flight over the Soviet Union (which was the first such U-2 flight) passed over Leningrad, not Moscow. The *only* Moscow overflight was on 5 July, 1956; on page 103 of the referenced document (112 if you type it into the goto box on the Web site) there are photographs from both days. There is information about the Moscow overflight two pages past the point I previously mentioned. URL is http://www.cia.gov/csi/books/U2/index.htm Thanks--I cross-posted this to rec.aviation.military whose readers may find some of this interesting. Adobe page 57 is Page 45 of the report: Major Design Features of the U2. Hardly technical, it was nonetheless an interesting read. John Bailey http://home.rochester.rr.com/jbxroads/mailto.html |
