Aerial reconnaissance has become one of the most important sources of strategic information for military planners. Where orbiting satellites are suitable for acquiring certain information, a piloted aircraft is much more versatile as a data gatherer. Early in the development of this mammoth spy platform, clandestine flights over various communist countries were executed. With its advanced surveillance gear, the SR-71 can scan thousands of miles of the Earth's surface every hour.
