Lost Black Cats – Official trailer

A movie that traces the history of Taiwan’s 35th Squadron will premier this Autumn after five-years of filming.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Cat_Squadron

The Black Cat Squadron (Chinese: 黑貓中隊; pinyin: hēi māo zhōngduì) (not to be confused with Black Bat Squadron), formally the 35th Squadron, was a squadron of the Republic of China Air Force that flew the U-2 surveillance plane out of Taoyuan Air Base in northern Taiwan, from 1961 to 1974. 26 ROCAF pilots successfully completed U-2 training in the US and flew 220 operational missions,[1] with about half over the People's Republic of China.....

During the squadron's 14 years of existence, five U-2s were shot down by PRC air defenses (using SA-2 missiles[2]), with three pilots killed and two captured. Another pilot was killed while performing an operational mission off the Chinese coast, while seven U-2s were lost during training missions, killing six pilots.[3]
