Francis Gary Powers U-2 -6 decades on

[Fareastdriver]

Sixty years on from the U-2 shoot down.

Nit picking I know but it is sixty one.

According to The Cold War Museum:

It was May 1, 1960, where the "May Day” holiday was celebrated in the Soviet Union. It was also at a time where Cold War tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union were quite high.

I know because I was at South Cerney at the time.
