U-2 Dragon Lady Pilot's Operating Manual

A Revealing Look into History’s Great Planes
Once “Restricted” and now declassified, Flight Operating Manuals taught pilots everything they needed to know before entering the cockpit. These affordable facsimiles have been reformatted and care has been taken to preserve the integrity of the original text. Number of pages and B&W photos vary by manual.
Conceived during the dark days of the Cold War, the U-2 is a single-engine, single-seat, surveillance aircraft. Designed by aeronautical engineer “Kelly” Johnson, the U-2 was used by the C.I.A to photograph installations deep inside Soviet Russia. Originally printed by Lockheed and the USAF in the 1960s, this handbook was recently declassified. Softbound, and approx. 330 pages.
