U-2 Planes
From the Series Military Vehicles
The U-2 first flew in 1955, and the spy plane has changed little over the decades. Pilots must wear full space suits to withstand the pressures at 70,000 feet, and the extra long wingspan makes landing the aircraft a team effort. See why the U-2 has stuck around for all these years in this fact-filled title for reluctant readers.
