Oh bingo! Any chance you could ask him where the code name
`Dragon Lady' for the U-2 came from?

Paul,
Henry's response was that the U-2 program had a lot of "nick names". He
ascribed that one, "Dragon Lady", to the English author and historian Chris
Pocock. You might check in Mr. Pocock's books on the U-2, or alternately,
perhaps you can contact the author and ask him.
