International Spy Museum. Dino Brugioni, retired senior analyst with the CIA and one of the world's premier experts on aerial reconnaissance, briefed presidents from Eisenhower through Ford. As a founder of the CIA's National Photographic Interpretation Center, during the Cuban Missile Crisis he was a key member of the team that provided President Kennedy the evidence that the Soviets were installing missiles in Cuba. In his book, Brugioni reveals details of the previously untold story of President Eisenhower's secret Cold War program to develop cutting-edge spy planes and satellites to gather intelligence. This insider perspective sheds new light on this breakthrough program and one president's efforts toward building an effective and technologically advanced intelligence capability.
