Who was the pilot of an American U-2 spy plane that was shot down?

The pilot of the American U-2 spy plane shot down on May 1, 1960, was Francis Gary Powers. His aircraft was downed over the Soviet Union during a reconnaissance mission, leading to heightened tensions between the U.S. and the USSR. Powers was captured, tried, and later exchanged for Soviet spy Rudolf Abel in 1962.


How many U-2 planes have crashed?

In the current issue of Air & Space (May 2012) it states that"five U-2s were shot down with Russian=developedSA-2 surface-to-air missiles . . ." This is a in an article where a Chinese pilot is interviewed and the context is U-2s shot down by the Chinese. The statement is made, however, by the interviewer as partof a question and not by the Chinese pilot, so I assume it is accurate. I also assume that this is in addition to Gary Powers being shot down over Russia. Reading this was the first I had heard of other U-2s being shot down.


Who is a pilot?

A pilot is someone with the specialist training and qualifications to manoeuvre a craft. This includes, aircraft, hovercraft and ships. In shipping, a Pilot is employed locally, to assist the ships captain in negotiating the confined waters of a port. He has local knowledge of a port and in most cases, vessels over a certain size, have to employ a pilot before entering port. Everywhere apart from the Panama canal, the pilot is there for assistance only and does not have full command of the ship. That remains the responsibility of the officer of the watch and the captain.
