Sunday with Friends: Francis Gary Powers, Jr.

May 18, 2025 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Meet Francis Gary Powers, Jr. the co-author, with Christopher Sturdevant, of “Cold War Virginia.”

Virginia played a central role in United States involvement during the Cold War. With doomsday operations underway for World War III during the 1950s, the Pentagon, CIA, and other federal agencies established Northern Virginia as the epicenter of decision-making. Virginia military bases readied for a potential surprise attack by the Soviet Union and research facilities worked on the Space Race. When the Soviet Union shot down the spy plane of Powers’ father, a superpower crisis of epic proportions ensued.
