This is an audio archive of a lecture that was presented on September 24, 2010 at the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center.

Until 2007, the men who built and flew the "OXCART" A-12, a mysterious high-speed, high-altitude reconnaissance aircraft, were known only as "secret heroes of the Cold War." Now, just two and a half years after their identities have been declassified, you can hear some of these secret heroes discuss the development, operations, and legacy of the Central Intelligence Agency's top secret Cold War project, OXCART.
