Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77807869 Technically it was not shot down, a Russian High altitude aircraft (Sukhoi Su-9) flipped it's wings over using turbulence and caused the wings to break. The only aircraft shot down was a Mig 19 flying at lower altitude that got hit by one of their own missiles. "The single-seat aircraft, flown by pilot Francis Gary Powers, was hit by an S-75 Dvina (SA-2 Guideline) surface-to-air missile and crashed near Sverdlovsk (today's Yekaterinburg). Powers parachuted safely and was captured."
