Update: 2024-12-18
Description
On this episode of Our American Stories, on May 1st, 1960, spy pilot Gary Powers was shot down over Soviet Russia resulting in massive controversy....and many questions. Did he defect? Did he have a flameout? Why didn't he kill himself? Did he spill his guts to the Soviets? When he returned from captivity to some, he was a hero—to others, he was a villain. But to Gary Powers, Jr....he was just dad.
Here's Gary Powers Jr. to tell the true story of his father. Be sure to check out Gary's phenomenal books (and Cold War tours) on his website!
