  View Details

  One of the most talked about events of the Cold War was the downing of the American U-2 spy plane piloted by Francis Gary Powers Sr. over the Soviet Union on May 1, 1960. After being shot down Powers was captured by the KGB, subjected to a televised trial, and imprisoned - all of which created an international incident. Join us now for an exciting evening with author Francis Gary Powers Jr. as he explores the harrowing tale of his father's experience in the Cold War.
