Abstract

The letter to the editors of Diplomatic History criticizes an article on the 1960 U-2 Crisis for inaccuracies regarding the U-2 Incident and Francis Gary Powers' actions. It highlights the correct altitude at which the U-2 was shot down and emphasizes Powers' adherence to orders and refusal to divulge secret information while in captivity. The letter also mentions Powers' posthumous awards and calls for access to the updated historical record to clear his reputation. [Extracted from the article]
