U-2A Addon for Strike Fighters

The most famous spy-plane of the Cold War era was a product of the Lockheed Skunk Works. The U-2 was designed to fly at altitudes that put it beyond the reach of interceptors. The advent of surface-to-air missiles brought U-2 over flights of the Soviet Union to halt in 1960 after an aircraft flown by Gary Powers was downed by an SA-2.
