Declassified CIA documents reveal British pilots flew U-2 missions over Soviet Union during the Cold War
RAF officers flew spying missions over the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, it was revealed yesterday.

After decades of secrecy, the CIA declassified documents that show British pilots were involved in the U-2 flights in 1959 and 1960.

They gathered vital intelligence which the head of the American agency said he regarded as worth ‘a million dollars’.

Big deal. It's nothing new that RAF and RN (Fleet Air Arm) pilots were flying USAF and USN hardware.

Even today there's RAF detachment capable of flying the B2 bomber.

And btw, the U2 spy plane was inspired by the English Electric Canberra, designated as Martin B-57 in the USAF.
