2. The Lockheed U-2, nicknamed "Dragon Lady", is a single-engine, very high-altitude aircraft operated by the United States Air Force and previously flown by the Central Intelligence Agency. It provides day and night, all-weather surveillance. The aircraft is also used for electronic sensor research and development, satellite calibration, and satellite data validation.

3. What happened exactly? • In July 1959, U.S. Vice President Nixon visited the Soviet Union and Premier Khrushchev. Touring different places. • Khrushchev jokingly commented “We have beaten you to the moon, but you have beaten us in sausage making.” He and Eisenhower agreed to meet at the summit conference in Paris the following year to discuss arms reduction. • On May 1960, just before the conference was to open Khrushchev announced that an American U-2 was shot down, but we insisted that it was weather research plane that strayed off. Gary Powers was captured and admitted he was on a spy mission. • The plane was detected by the Soviet Air Defense Forces at 4:47 when it had flown more than 250 km over the Soviet national boundary and avoided several attempts of attack.

5. Mysteries Revealed • Several alternative theories have been put forward to explain the downing of Gary Powers spy plane: • Gary Powers was flying his plane below the high flying reconnaissance altitude and was hit by anti-aircraft fire. • Gary Powers actually landed the plane in the Soviet Union. • There was a bomb on board the plane. Cont. Gary powers

6. Cont’d • Gary Powers was convicted of and sentenced to 3 years imprisonment and 7 years of hard labor. He only served 1 year 9 months and 9 days before being traded for the Soviet spy Colonel Rudolph Abel. • This incident set in motion a pattern of mistrust that culminated in the Cuban Missile Crisis, a time when U.S.-U.S.S.R. relations reached an all time low. No one can predict if the Cold War might have ended sooner had the U-2 incident not occurred.

7. Powers Homebound! • The Soviet Union set a meeting with the United Nations Security Council on May 23 to tell their side of the story. • The meetings continued for four days with other allegations of spying being exchanged, as well as recriminations over the Paris Summit, and a US offer of an "open skies" proposal to allow reciprocal flights over one another's territory, at the end of which the Soviet Union overwhelmingly lost a vote and requested the US to prevent their recurrence. • The U-2 Incident halted arms reduction talks between Khrushchev and Eisenhower.
