The CIA makes a secret flight over the Soviet Union with U-2 to take pictures. The Soviet Union eventually finds out about the secret photos so Eisenhower wants to discontinue U-2 to allow the negotiations with Khrushev. Francis Gary Powers made one last U-2 flight on May 1, 1960, Powers was shot down by a Soviet Pilot taken prisoner. The U.S. found out that soviets lied, Eisenhower takes responsibility.
