Tensions:U-2

The U-2s were planes with cameras that would fly over suspected places. The first time we sent a U-2 was against the Soviet Union. The piolet flew over and came back to the United states with pictures of their camps. The Soviets found out we had done this and became very angery. We promised we would not send another U-2 over their country. The tension built until Truman decided we needed to send one more plane overhead. Unfoutunetly the Soviets found out and the plane was gunned and the piolet captured. The only other time we used U-2s was during the Cuba missile crisis, which helped greatly to fend off Cuba.
