Francis Gary Powers U-2 Fluid Containment Vessel

Item Details

Description

A fluid containment vessel used by Francis Gary Powers during his U2 missions. Made of sturdy plastic and metal, this 12 x 4'' container was a necessity aboard these planes.

The design of Powers' high altitude suit, with its many hidden zippers, allowed him to utilize the container quickly and therefore fly for great distances without needing to land to relieve himself. This historic and straightforward piece of equipment proves that smart design can take you great distances.

Francis Gary Powers was a distinguished pilot for the CIA's U-2 program during the height of the Cold War. Powers was arrested after his spy plane was shot down while flying a high-risk reconnaissance mission over Soviet airspace. To learn more about Powers' astounding story of survival, please visit www.guernseys.com

These items provided directly by Mr. Powers' son, expert public speaker on the U-2 Incident and Cold War History, Francis Gary Powers Jr.
