AI overview

The U-2 is a family of reconnaissance aircraft built by Lockheed starting in 1955, designed to fly at extremely high altitudes for spy missions. It became historically significant as a tool for gathering intelligence during the Cold War, though its use was also controversial, particularly after a U-2 was shot down over the Soviet Union in 1960.
