If you like this kind of stuff, the black cats and black bats operations from Taiwan provide many more hours of reading pleasure.

Funny I just came across this recently , I thought they had been based out of Taichung airport but it was actually the U2 spyplane. Most amazing aircraft ever built IMHO . Everything about it was special. I can’t imagine five hundred Taiwanese lined up having a good gawk at one of America’s most secret planes at the time.
