Description

The Cold War drove military innovation and none more than the need to spy on Soviet Bloc countries in the 1950s.

The best way to spy other than tap phones and have agents on the ground was from the air.

For this several cutting edge aircraft were designed and built by the legendary Kelly Johnson and Lockheed Skunk works - which pushed the boundaries of technology.

At the same time a secret airbase to test these revolutionary aircraft in the form of Area 51 came into being.

Follow the exciting true story of some very famous aircraft that would fly faster and higher than anything seen before and be a blueprint for many modern aircraft.

One of these cutting edge aircraft - the U-2 is still in service some 60 years later.
