This 1962 News Clipping Reports The Loss Of A Lockheed U-2 Reconnaissance Aircraft Operated By The Nationalist Chinese Over Sino-Communist Territory On September 9, 1962. The Aircraft, Provided To Taiwan By The United States In 1960, Was Used For High-Altitude Surveillance Amid Cold War Tensions. The Sino-Communist Government Claimed The Plane Was Shot Down By An Air Force Unit, While Unofficial Sources Alleged Engine Trouble Forced The U-2 To Descend To 15,000 Feet, Where It Was Destroyed By A Fighter. This Event Reflects The Strategic Importance Of Aerial Intelligence And Escalating US-China-Taiwan Relations During The Era.
