#OTD 60 years ago, Francis Gary Powers was piloting a U-2 reconnaissance mission for the CIA when he was shot down over the Soviet Union.

On the morning of May 1, 1960, Powers was up well before the sun. ‪At 5:20am‬ Powers climbed into the cockpit and waited for the signal for takeoff. He soared to the sky where the outside temperature fell to sixty degrees below zero.
The malfunctions of this U-2 could have altered the course of history had they occurred earlier in the flight. Powers was 1300 miles inside of Russia when the autopilot broke down. He decided to fly the plane manually for the duration and to complete his mission.
The young pilot had been flying for almost four hours when he heard a dull thump, the aircraft lurched forward, and there was a bright orange flash from a nearby surface-to-air missile. The plane’s right wing began to droop and the nose started to go down.
