The U-2 made its first flight in 1955, and is still flying. I am Chris Pocock, and I have been following this remarkable aircraft for over 30 years. I have written five books and many articles about it. The CIA’s own historian said that I am the foremost authority on the subject.

On this website, I post historical commentaries; describe my books; provide some basic facts; and more. I invite your comments, and your help to enable my continued research.

On another website, www.dragonladytoday.com, I provide the latest news on today’s U-2, which remains at the forefront of airborne reconnaissance, and may continue in service for some years to come!
