Spy Pilot: Presentation by Francis Gary Powers Jr.

Join us for a presentation by Francis Gary Powers Jr., author of the 2019 book "Spy Pilot: Francis Gary Powers, the U-2 Incident, and a Controversial Cold War Legacy." His book describes what it was like to grow up in the shadow of his father, Francis Gary Powers Sr., a CIA pilot and famous Cold War figure. Learn how Powers Jr. sought the truth after his father’s death in 1977, and how that research led to the USAF and CIA posthumously awarding his father the POW Medal, Director’s Medal, and Silver Star.
