Reviews
"Biography, autobiography, the unraveling of a Cold War mystery, and a son's mission to see his father honored. This book has it all ." --Vin Arthey, author of Abel: The True Story of the Spy They Traded for Gary Powers "Francis Gary Powers was a patriot who got a raw deal, and his son has devoted his life to revealing the truth." --Robert Conrad, actor, The Wild Wild West and Baa Baa Black Sheep " Spy Pilot provides a unique perspective on one of the turning points of the Cold War. Francis Gary Powers Jr. tells the tale of his father's fateful mission, and of his capture and imprisonment in the Soviet Union. The heart of the story, however, focuses on events that occurred after Powers returned to the United States. It is a chronicle of the pilot's battle to salvage his reputation and dignity in the face of an indifferent and at times hostile government, a battle that his son waged for decades after Powers died in a tragic accident. Spy Pilot is also an intensely personal story about the loss of a father, and a son's desperate efforts to understand a man he barely remembers." --Steven T. Usdin, author of Bureau of Spies and Engineering Communism
