Item Details

Description

Francis Gary Powers envelope made in prison. This brown hand-cut and hand-made envelope was created by Powers during his sentence at Vladimir Central Prison outside of Moscow. It is sharply cut and held together by glue residue. It measures 4.5 x 6.5''.

The envelope was made to contain the letters and brief postcards Gary Powers sent home. It is an example of the liberties his Soviet captors would sometimes allow him.

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.
