Operation Overflight: A Memoir of the U-2 Incident (Revised) Paperback - 2003
by Francis Gary Powers; Curt Gentry; Curt Gentry (Joint Author)
First line
I have never thought of myself as a spy, yet in a certain sense this attitude is probably naive, for Operation Overflight was to change many of the traditional definitions of espionage, providing a bridge between the age of the "deep-cover" cloak-and-dagger agent and that of the wholly electronic spy-in-the-sky satellite.

Paperback, which is in as new condition. Please see photos for condition. Seller will carefully wrap book in bubble wrap and ship it with tracking.The true story that inspired the feature film Bridge of SpiesIn this new edition of his classic 1970 memoir about the notorious U-2 incident, pilot Francis Gary Powers reveals the full story of what actually happened in the most sensational espionage case in Cold War history. After surviving the shoot-down of his reconnaissance plane and his capture on May 1, 1960, Powers endured sixty-one days of rigorous interrogation by the KGB, a public trial, a conviction for espionage, and the start of a ten-year sentence. After nearly two years, the U.S. government obtained his release from prison in a dramatic exchange for convicted Soviet spy Rudolph Abel. The narrative is a tremendously exciting suspense story about a man who was labeled a traitor by many of his countrymen but who emerged a Cold War hero.
