Spy Pilot: Francis Gary Powers, the U-2 Incident, and a Controversial Cold War Legacy

To my mom and dad for their unconditional love. I would like to dedicate this book to my wife, Jen, and our son, Trey, who provide me with daily inspiration. I love you. And also to my sister, Dee, for her support over the years. I love you too.

—Francis Gary Powers Jr.

To my uncles who served their country honorably during the Cold War: Roy Evans (US Air Force), Carroll Hughes (US Navy), Robert Andersen (US Air Force), and Alvin Hughes (NASA).
