The U-2 was developed in complete secrecy by Kelly Johnson and Lockheed's Skunk Works, with the first U-2A making its maiden flight in August 1955. In the late 1950s, it began covertly infiltrating Soviet airspace to conduct reconnaissance, providing key intelligence on Soviet military strength to the US president and heads of government. In October 1962, U-2 reconnaissance photographs discovered Soviet nuclear missiles deployed in Cuba, triggering the famous Cuban Missile Crisis.
