Question: Who was an American pilot involved in U-2 incident on May 1?
Context: The 1960 U-2 incident occurred during the Cold War on 1 May 1960, during the presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower and the premiership of Nikita Khrushchev, when a United States U-2 spy plane was shot down while in Soviet airspace.  The aircraft, flown by Central Intelligence Agency pilot Francis Gary Powers was performing photographic aerial reconnaissance when it was hit by an S-75 Dvina (SA-2 Guideline) surface-to-air missile and crashed near Sverdlovsk.  Powers parachuted safely and was captured. Francis Gary Powers (August 17, 1929 – August 1, 1977) – often referred to as simply Gary Powers – was an American pilot whose Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) U-2 spy plane was shot down while flying a reconnaissance mission in Soviet Union airspace, causing the 1960 U-2 incident. These Guys Are from England and Who Gives a Shit is the 2001 re-release of the "U2" EP by Negativland.  It contains both tracks from the original EP, plus some tracks from the 1989 "Over the Edge" broadcasts on which the original EP was based, as well as live tracks recorded at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco.  The album was called a "bootleg" and released under "Seelard Records" as a joke, but in fact it was a real release by the band.  Several of the live tracks on the album contain the same samples of a profane Casey Kasem as had appeared on the "U2" EP set to a different musical arrangement, which includes a spoken portion which in part borrows from the lyrics of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction".  Other live tracks made reference to the band's battle with SST Records and to the 1960 U-2 incident. Roland 'Bud' Wolfe January 12, 1918 - January 28, 1994, was an American pilot who parachuted from an RAF Spitfire plane into a peat bog on the Inishowen peninsula in County Donegal, Ireland, on 30 November 1941.  The incident initiated a diplomatic row between Britain and Ireland. David William Ferrie (March 28, 1918 – February 22, 1967) was an American pilot who was alleged by New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison to have been involved in a conspiracy to assassinate President John F. Kennedy.  Garrison also alleged that Ferrie knew Lee Harvey Oswald.  Ferrie denied any involvement in a conspiracy and said he never knew Oswald.  Decades later, photos emerged establishing that Ferrie had been in the same Civil Air Patrol unit as Oswald in the 1950s, but critics have argued this does not prove that either Ferrie or Oswald was involved in an assassination plot. Northwest Airlines Flight 188 was a regularly scheduled flight from San Diego, California, to Minneapolis, Minnesota on October 21, 2009.  The flight landed over one hour late in Minneapolis after overshooting its destination by over 150 miles because of pilot errors.  As a result of this incident, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) revoked the pilot certificates of the involved pilots and the National Transportation Safety Board issued recommendations to Air traffic control procedures and changes in the rules for cockpit crew and air traffic controllers.  The incident also caused American lawmakers to move to prevent pilots on U.S. airliners from using electronic devices while taxiing or flying.  Changes to flight deck automation have also been suggested as a result of the incident and prototype designs that could mitigate errors leading to similar incidents have been described. Antony Habersack Jannus, more familiarly known as Tony Jannus (July 22, 1889 – October 12, 1916), was an early American pilot whose aerial exploits were widely publicized in aviation's pre-World War I period.  He flew the first airplane from which a parachute jump was made, in 1912.  Jannus was also the first airline pilot, having pioneered the inaugural flight of the St. Petersburg–Tampa Airboat Line on January 1, 1914, the first scheduled commercial airline flight in the world using heavier-than-air aircraft.  The "Tony Jannus Award", created to perpetuate his legacy, recognizes outstanding individual achievement in the scheduled commercial aviation industry and is conferred annually by the Tony Jannus Distinguished Aviation Society founded in Tampa, Florida, in 1963. Frederic L. Pryor (born 1933) is an American Senior Research Scholar of Economics at Swarthmore College, widely known for his role in a noted Cold War spy-swap, subsequent to the 1960 U-2 incident. Leonard B. "Tuck" Smith (October 29, 1915 in Mayview, Missouri – May 16, 2006 in Friday Harbor, Washington) was an American pilot who spotted the German battleship "Bismarck" prior to its being sunk by British naval and air forces.  Smith was the first American to participate in a World War II naval victory and is sometimes considered the first American to be directly involved in World War II for his actions. Sergei Ivanovich Safronov (Russian: Серге́й Ива́нович Сафро́нов ; 25 March 1930 – 1 May 1960) was a senior lieutenant in the Soviet Air Defense Forces.  Safronov, a fighter pilot, was shot down by a friendly surface-to-air missile while attempting to intercept Gary Powers' U-2, conducting a reconnaissance mission.
