I found that clicking on the link embedded in that article led me to a PDF project document that is very interesting and informative.

See: https://www.cambridge.org/core/services/aop-cambridge-core/content/view/A16A04FB4990B74B9FF750DCCF31A141/S2326376818000384a.pdf

I hope they can continue this work because these aerial photos contain highly valuable archeological information that may be lost if these films are not preserved. I feel our government should scan all these U2 photos and make the scans widely available to researchers.

Amazing. Taken in 1958 and 1959, so long ago, too. It would require a lot of time to understand. Judi Lynn Apr 2019 #4
