黑貓中隊: Taiwan/ROC U2 Pilots Reveal Secret Missions – an untold story and films
The elite Black Cats, who were operational from 1961 until 1974, flew the legendary U-2 airplane, dubbed "Dragon Lady", a crucial intelligence tool at the time and a key element in the intelligence relationship between the US government and Taiwan. Of the 28-member Black Cat squadron, four were shot down and killed over China, while two were taken prisoner and kept incarcerated for nearly 20 years. Six lost their lives during training missions. One of the Black Cats' key areas of interest during the 1960s was China's speedily evolving nuclear program, a source of great concern after the communist power detonated its first atomic bomb in October 1964.
Speakers: One distinguished Black Cat Squadron veterans, Mr. Shen, Zhong Lee and a GPS and CIA-decoded films taken by U-2 pilots expert Mr. Xu, Lin will share with us their stories, experiences and films taken by U-2 pilots over China.
