How did the band U2 decide on it's name?

In: U2, Rock Bands and Artists [Edit categories]

Answer:

U2 is the name of the plane that the U.S. (in the '50s I believe... sometime during the Cold War) sent to the Soviet Union to spy on them with. It makes sense since U2 (the band) is all political and stuff.
