Hi Folks, From the book "Lockeed's Skunk Works, the First Fifty Years", the workhorse camera for the U-2 at that time was the "B" camera. It had a 36" folded-optics lens and was the highest resolution device in the world at the time. It looks to me from the illustration to be one that used the 14" wide film. These were very special beasties and have been superceded by even more specialize devices, as we now have a larger U-2 in operation. Regards, Fox sends.
