tensions; U-2

The U.S. created these airplanes thast they could fly over enemy territory to take pictures of their activity. sthese plane could not be detected over radar so they were very stealthy. Truman authurized the flight of these planes. he wanted to take picture of the activity concerning the missles in cuba placed there by Castro. These misslies were very large and could reach the U.S. in just five minutes. They were planning a strike to take out all of the missles in cuba at the same time. After some conincing and planning and talking the Soviet union finally removed the missles, but in turn we would have to remoe our missles in turkey.
