Life of Francis Powers Wife of U2 Pilot Wanted Him To Quit
Barbara Powers urged her husband to quit flying before marriage. The 24 year old Georgia woman, then 18 at marriage, has endured uncertainty as Francis Gary Powers faces capture in Russia. She isolates here and in Albany, while government and Lockheed officials caution her to speak carefully. Powers, a shy man, met Barbara through Turner's Flight Base. He served as a fighter pilot before becoming a Lockheed test pilot and CIA risked assignment to espionage missions. Her memories sketch a devoted, disciplined man with high fitness and restraint, and a life shaped by extraordinary, dangerous service.
