[Milsurplus] [armyradios] U-2 video by WSJ, GREAT !

[Brooke Clarke]

HI Hue:

Thanks for that link.  Here's the full link:
https://www.wsj.com/video/spying-high-a-rare-trip-in-america-u-2-spy-plane/3CB35386-FE9E-4DF7-8B1C-8074FB4E026E.html

I'm now reading Spyplane, The U-2 History Declassified by Norman Polmar.  It was previously owned by Edward Lovick of 
Lockheed and has interesting post-it notes.
I have his book /Radar Man: A Personal History of Stealth/ on order.
So far there's no information about the payload electronic equipment, but a lot about the various camera systems.

It turns out that a normal aneroid type altimeter will not work at the altitudes where the U-2 flies, so a special 
"servo" type is needed.
