I don't know how I ended up at this site. It's an awesome series of U2 pictures. I never saw parts of one close-up. Thanks for the translations. I remember the "crisis"; but I don't remember our news media reporting that. If the first U2 was shot down TWO years earlier, what was the US military thinking when they sent U2s over Cuba???
