Gary Powers...he flew the CIA spy plane that the Russians shot down in 1960.

Like Superman he had Powers..the plane as said was U 2...the reason I said Eileen should know it was she is connected to the army. Gary had high ambitions..he was especially selected to fly the plane..another reason someone should have gotten it sooner is the movie..Bridge of spies..latest movie.

Well done barefoot...as I said you were all around it..you got the spy bit..that was another clue..I spy with my little eye..

Eileen all the clues were there..just had to do some word association, and as I said you are connected to that field.
