Over Flight – The U2 Spy Plane Incident
The story of a very adventurous and heroic US Air Force Officer that was seconded to the CIA to overfly Soviet airspace at the height of the cold war. How he became the target of Soviet missiles, a staged show trial, his incarceration, eventual release and death whilst flying as a civilian pilot over Los Angeles on his return home.
