SOF: “When we admitted publicly that the U-2 belonged to us & that it was on a reconnaissance mission, we were doing something that in a modern world was the only way we could find out, to get any information, about a closed society, & a society that is constantly threatening us by their strength, boasting about what they could do to the world, & all the rest of it.
