=Pilot, Francis Gary Powers was born in  = =Jenkins, Kentucky. U.S. Pilot Powers was navigating his U2 aircraft over the Ural Mountains deep inside the Soviet Union, when suddenly a dull thump rocked the plane and a tremendous orange flash lit the cockpit and the sky. Once Powers plane was coming to an end all he could say was "My God, I've Had It Now!" They reported that Powers plane had crashed andwas captured by the Soviets.

Powers was interrogated by the KGB for months before he made a voluntary confession and an apology for his part in espionage. =
