The Lockheed Martin U-2 was THE primary reconnaissance plane during the Cold War. It was a single jet engine plane operated by the USAF and CIA with a climb ceiling of 70,000 feet higher than the ability of most surface to air missiles of that time. With the soviets realizing they were being watched by the plane they developed missiles to reach that altitude and as a result two were lost to missiles. Overall the plane has had a very successful history and new versions are still being flown today.... Say hello to the U-2!
