Inscribed First Edition, First Printing of this detailed first person account of one of most dramatic episodes of the Cold War era -- the 1960 downing of a U-2 spy plane over the Soviet Union and the capture of pilot Francis Gary Powers by the Soviets. Powers discusses the U-2 program, the fateful flight, his captivity in the Soviet Union, and his release in a high-level prisoner exchange. Inscribed by Francis Gary Powers (a quite interest inscription) to a previous owner on the front endpaper. The inscription is dated by Powers May 30, 1970. 375 pages, illustratedf. An early owner affixed protective clear plastic to the dust jacket -- the jacket looks good except for heavily tanned vertical lines at the side edges of the front and back flaps. Parallel lines, evidently a result of the protective efforts on the jacket, run from top to bottom on both pastedown pages. A bit of the tanning is also on the adjacent endpapers, one of which is the page with the inscription. Also has some tanning of the page edges.…
