“I thought Power was shot down over the USSR, not China.”

It was the USSR. The shootdown derailed a summit conference between the USSR and the US, France and Britain that had been scheduled for later that year.

In civilian life Francis Gary Powers went on to fly a news helicopter here in LA and was killed in a crash while covering a brush fire.
