Mrs. M a r i e c e Lindsay's Georgian Pilot Of Mystery Plane Down in Russia Burbank, Calif. -0JPD- Fran cis G. Powers, 30, Albany, Ga., was the test pilot of a mystery-shrouded U2 American plane shot down over Russian territory. Lockheed Aircraft Corp., maker of the highly secret reconnaissance craft, an nounced Thursday night Pow ers joined the firm in 1958. He had been assigned to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration pro gram using U2 planes. Mystery Craft Lockheed withheld identi fication of Powers to first notify his mother who suffers from a heart ailment, a firm spokesman said. His wife, Barbara, lives in Albany. The U2 is somewhat of a mystery craft. Although built by Lockheed and test flown first in 1956, little is known about it. Information about it is highly classified, said a Lockheed spokesman. -"Any releases about it must come Irom the National Aeronau tics and Space Administra tion which runs the U2 pro gram." U for Utility Lockheed built the researcn craft as neither a fighter nor bomber, so it was given the initial U - for utility. The plane is capable of fly ing longer at higher altitudes up to 10 miles - than any of the best U.S. fighter-interceptors. ' In design the U2 is a straight-wing, single - engine jet with a BO-foot wing span and 45 feet in length. It flies at speeds less than the speed of sound. The U2 was built to carry one person - the pilot - ana load of test instruments. MedfordighO&hoo? Edited by Jim Frakt. Staff: Esther Jacobs, Rita McB.th, Jim McCormack. Edonna Pace, Diane Mohr.
