The U2 Spy Plane
The U2 spy plane was brought into service in 1955 and only decommissioned in 1989. "It's the first time that America found a plane that it could use for a long time," says Peter Bergen. A new type of airplane is needed to fly over Russia undetected by radar or high enough so they can't shoot it down.
